82From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 5 July 1799 (Adams Papers)
I have received two letters from you of the 29th June—one concerning Govenor Davie which I am glad to see tho it requires no answer—the other relative to Mr Savage in Jamaica to whom I am glad you have determined to send authority as agent MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.

84From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 3 July 1799 (Adams Papers)
I have received your letter of June 26th. & return the Exequatur for Mr Barclay signed.—Whatever irregularity there may be in this I suppose it may be justifyed by a particular regard to Mr Liston & Mr. Barclay as well as by an earnest desire to cultivate a good understanding with their government MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.
85From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 3 July 1799 (Adams Papers)
Inclosed is an extract of a private letter from Gov Wentworth to Mr. McDonald the British consul at Boston. You may shew it confidentially to Mr. Liston & your colleagues. It is so consistent with all our intelligence from St Domingo, that it made an impression upon me. MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.
86From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 2 July 1799 (Adams Papers)
I think I have not answered particularly your favor of the 4th June. The letter of Mr. Adams to me shews by its number, that seven precedeing letters have miscaried or at least not arrived. His dispatches to you have probably not been more fortunate. I return you the letter from Mr. Murray. MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.

I thank you for the favor of your letter of 24 June, & the copies inclosed of dispatches from Stevens & Maitland, which I suppose it is unnecessary for me to return. The necessary alterations in the proclamation will of course be made by you, with the advice of the heads of department. Harmony with the English in all this business of St. Domingo, is the thing I have most at heart. The result...

I now return all the papers inclosed in your letter of May 29th with two letters from Gen Toussaint to me which you had previously received opened & read. I agree with you that they ought to be filed in the office. MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.
89From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 29 June 1799 (Adams Papers)
I received but last night your favor of the 18th. I return the commission signed for Mr John Moreton, as consul at Havanna—the copy of your projected letter to the Govenor, to which I see no objection, & all the letters & papers of Mr. Iznardi. Considering the conduct of Mr Iznardi, as represented in his own letters, it has been zealous & meritorious, although there are marks of credulity. But...
90From John Adams to Timothy Pickering, 29 June 1799 (Adams Papers)
Last night I received your favor of the 22d. and rejoice to find you have received dispatches from Stevens and Maitland. If the British merchant vessels are to enter the ports of Cape Francoise & Port au Prince under a flagg of truce, and ours are not & if an agent from the British government is not admitted, while one from the United States is, this will render it more necessary for us to be...
