Having communicated to Mr. Monroe my application to be continued in the Consulate at Bordeaux, and asked his testimony on the manner I had filled that office during his residence in France—he has been pleased to forward the inclosed letter for you, which I have the honor to transmit.

4From Alexander Hamilton to Philip Schuyler, 22 March 1801 (Hamilton Papers)
We did not leave Albany till near twelve on Friday and the next day about one, I arrived here —where I found the two families in good health. The darkness of the night obliged us to come to Anchor in Haverstraw Bay. About mid-night we were alarmed with the cry of “All hands upon Deck.” You will imagine we were not slow in our obedience. No sooner were we on Deck than we perceived by a flame...

Your favor of Feb. 21. has been too long unacknoleged. the press of business on a first entrance into office must apologize for me. it contains much to thank you for. while the esteem of my friends is dear to my heart, I see that their expectations are painfully too high; and especially in a scene of such vast extent, where we must of necessity depend on information not inspection. the...
7From Thomas Jefferson to Elijah Griffiths, 22 March 1801 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of July last was delivered to me at Monticello, from which place I had nothing new, or worthy the subject of an answer. that of Feb. 22. is now to be acknoleged. I have considerable hopes that our government will go on with less opposition than preceding occasions have called for. I rather expect that several circumstances latterly have brought over & consolidated with us a large...
