21To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 12 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Albion Cox having been recommended to me to fill the Office of Assayer of our Mint I made all the requisite Enquiries concerning his Abilities and Integrity and received a satisfactory account of both, but as he has been under Misfortunes in America I thought it prudent not to make a final Agreement with him unless his Character should bear the Test of Enquiry there as well as in this...
22To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 12 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Messrs. Talon and Bonnet applied to me in the Month of October last expressing their intention to settle in the United States and requesting Information in what way it would be most advantageous to vest a considerable property they purpose placing in that Country. I recommended (what indeed I found to have been their original plan) to examine and determine for themselves. To facilitate their...
23To George Washington from Thomas Pinckney, 13 March 1793 (Washington Papers)
M. de Noailles who is the bearer of this requires no introduction to you, his situation & services during the late War you witnessed, & are well acquainted with the subsequent events which have placed him in his present predicament. You will find him warmly participating in the anxiety we all feel for the welfare of our friend M. de la Fayette —on this subject I have only to say that I have...
24To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 13 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The printed copy of the Passport which I mentioned as being inclosed in my letter of the 11th. of last month not having been sent to me in time for that purpose I transmit it by this opportunity, and as Mr. Morris differs from me in opinion on this subject and his ideas may likewise prevail in America I here add extracts of my letters to him on this subject which contain my principal reasons...
25To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 13 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I was hopeful to have been able to send to you by Mr. Marshall the model of a threshing machine which a mechanic promised to finish by this time, but I am for the present disappointed; I expect however it will be in time for the next Vessel. On further inquiry I find this machine well spoken of by all whom I have met with who are acquainted with its operation—it is said that the Mill whence...
26To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 19 March 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Finding Captn. Loxley still detained I avail myself of the opportunity thereby afforded, to inform you that I have received the paper concerning which I was sollicitous from Mr. Morris, to whom it had been sent by mistake, and that I shall observe the directions contained in your favor of the 1st. Jany. I am happy to find that circumstances have not occasioned the detention of this paper to be...
27To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 5 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
In a Conversation I had this day with Lord Grenville I conclude that no Ship coming to the ports of the King of Gt. Britn. will be permited to proceed to ports under French dominion with grain or other provisions or naval stores or any goods called contraband: that this government intends to make prize of enemies property on board of neutral Ships and all provisions going to ports blockaded ....
28To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 6 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose the Copy of a Letter from Mr. Holloway an Engraver here who by the Enquiries I have made would answer very well as Engraver to our Mint. He would be satisfied with the Salary annexed to that Office, but wishes to have some Engagement that a Provision will be made him for life in case old Age or Infirmity should incapacitate him from continuing the Duties of his Office. He has a...
29To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Pinckney, 10 April 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I avail myself of the delay of the Ship James, by which I have already written, to send the news papers up to the present time as they contain intelligence of some importance. The Armament of this country both by sea and land continues with spirit. A divi[si]on of the dominions of France is talked of in which the French W. Indies will be again allotted to Great Britain. I have no hope of...
