13Enclosure: Gouverneur Morris to William Short, 20 August 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Paris, August 20, 1792. “Yours of the seventh was long in coming probably mine of the 9th. was equally delayed.

Your favor of the 12 Sepr last reached me a few Days ago.

I have received your favors of the twelfth of July and fifteenth of October. The last reach’d me yesterday by Express from Bordeaux.

20To Thomas Jefferson from Gouverneur Morris, 16 August 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last was of the first Instant No 5. Since that Period another Revolution has been affected in this City. It was bloody.

A very considerable Party is deeply interested to overturn it but what may be their Conduct is uncertain. Whether they will confine themselves to idle Vows and...
