4091From Thomas Jefferson to Ernst Frederick Guyer, 8 January 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I am really sorry that I cannot, by the advance of 600 Dollars enable you to set up the Type-founder’s business: but it is entirely out of my power for reasons respecting my private affairs which need not be explained. Your wish to set out on a plan which would require capital, but would produce profit in proportion, is natural to a young artist. I wish you may be able to do it: but you will...

4095From George Washington to Joseph Habersham, 8 August 1796 (Washington Papers)
You were obliging enough a few Posts ago, to send young Mr Lafayette a dead letter, which had been deposited in your Office (from his friends in Europe). As his anxiety to hear from, or of his Parents, can only be exceeded by his uneasiness at their unhappy situation; I pray you to direct the deputy Post masters in the Sea Port Towns, if any letters with his Superscription thereon, or that of...
4096From Thomas Jefferson to Hague & Lester, 25 October 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Randolph informs me you are desirous that my goods lodged in your warehouses should be removed. I have just engaged a person to bring up the whole by water in the course of the winter; and that they may be convenient to the watermen, Mr. Randolph has engaged a store for them at Belvedere , to which place he will take immediate measures to have them removed. I am this morning setting out...

New York, February 11, 1797. “The suits against Riley as a Partner of Wetmore are expected to be matured for Trial at the ensuing Circuit Court which begins the 20th of March. I should of course want the original documents to establish the Copartnership and the original notes & acknowleged accounts to establish the respective demands of the parties. As the measures preparatory to Trial are...
4099From George Washington to Mary Gomain Hallet, 5 May 1795 (Washington Papers)
It is painful to me to receive the complaints of Mr Hallet, through you. It is more so, as I see no propriety in my interfering in the differences between the Commissioners and him. The Commissioners are responcible to the public for conducting the public buildings, and other concerns of the Federal City. In the discharge of this trust, they must pursue such means as in their judgment, are...
4100From George Washington to James Hoban and Stephen Hallet, 1 July 1793 (Washington Papers)
I have considered in the best manner my small knowledge in Architecture, & the peculiar situation of my own Private concerns (which brought me here) will enable me to do—the observations made by mr Hallet on the plan which has been exhibited by Doctr Thornton—& on acct of its exterior beauty, & the arrangement of the Apartments, had been adopted. But if this plan is as expensive as it is...
