1From George Washington to Guy Carleton, 7 April 1783 (Washington Papers)
I have been honored with your Excellencys Letter of the 31st of March—enclosing an Extract of a Letter from General Haldimand, accompanied with an Extract of a Speech of the Indians of the Six Nations. The speech I conceive to be rather uncandid—having good reason to believe that the severities the Indians have experienced have been drawn upon themselves by their own barbarous Conduct. But as...

4From George Washington to Guy Carleton, 22 June 1782 (Washington Papers)
Your favor of the 20th Instant I have had the honor to receive. Could I view your Excellencys proposal for a meeting, as intended to involve objects of a Military Nature, I should have no objection to complying with your request, but if its purpose embraces only points of civil discussion (as would seem from your Letter) I conceive it wholly unnecessary for me to make a Compliance. As I had...

In consequence of a request from the Executive of the State of Pennsylvania, I must beg the favor of your Excellency to procure and transmit me a passport for the Sloop Cohansy John Kemp Mast. navigated by four Seamen, from Philada to New York and back, with about 200 Barrels of Flour and 100 Bushels of Potatoes, for the use of the Marine prisoners belonging to the State of Pennsylvania.

6From George Washington to Guy Carleton, 16 September 1782 (Washington Papers)
Your Excellency’s Letter of the 12th came to my Hands Yesterday. The Want of some very necessary papers, which were expected from Philadelphia, by yesterday’s post, puts me under the necessity of proposing to your Excellency, that the meeting of the Commissioners may be postponed, until Wen ’s day of next Week; at which time, I hope, we cannot fail to be ready to proceed to Business. I am...
7From George Washington to Guy Carleton, 20 November 1782 (Washington Papers)
Your Excellency will have been confirmed, before this reaches you, of the liberation of Capt. Asgill. I am, notwithstanding, directed to recall your attention to that part of your letter of the 13th of August last, in which you say "I have given orders to the Judge Advocate to make further inquisition and to collect Evidence for the presentation of such other persons as may appear to have been...

10From George Washington to Guy Carleton, 21 May 1782 (Washington Papers)
I embrace the earliest moment to inform your Excellency that, your Request of a passport for Mr Morgan to go with your Dispatches to Philadelphia, is disagreeable to Congress, and cannot be admitted. A Number of Inhabitants of the State of South Carolina, principally Women and Children, having under the British Administration, been sent from Charlestown to Pennsylvania, I have the Honor to...
