By the Ship Nancy, Captain Davidson bound to Alexandria, I have sent a small Box, addressed to you, and containing the Four Pair of Prints for which you did me the honour to subscribe so long since, and two Volumes which I was requested by my friend Mr West to forward to you with his best Respects: the prints are the finest impressions and, for security are rolled, and enclosed in a Tin Case....
2To George Washington from John Trumbull, 3 October 1795 (Washington Papers)
By the Ship Factor bound to Philadelphia I send a Box addressed to your Excellency, containing Two Prints, which I beg you will do me the Honour to Accept.

3To George Washington from John Trumbull, 29 November 1789 (Washington Papers)
Had not the subject been accidentally introduc’d in the conversation with which you was pleas’d to honor me this Evening, I should never have thought of mentioning that any application from me bore a part in procurring to Mr Jefferson the civilities wch He receiv’d from the Custom House in England. But since it has been mention’d you will pardon my enclosing copies of the Letters which I wrote...

Having determin’d to Visit Europe, in a few Months —where Military Reputation is highly Esteem’d—and where, to have Serv’d in the American Army is a general Letter of Credit—I Beg leave to request from your Excellency a single Line expressive of my Services, and the Rank with which I was once honor’d. I should not have troubled your Excellency with this Application, had not the manner in which...

6To George Washington from John Trumbull, 6 March 1798 (Washington Papers)
At length I have the satisfaction of informing you, that my two first Plates of the American Revolution are finished, and in a Style perfectly satisfactory to me: I had hopes of sending out their impressions to my Subscribers by this Convoy, but it has been impossible to print a sufficient number to deliver to all, and as I can make no distinctions, I must suffer the whole to wait the next...
7To George Washington from John Trumbull, 5 October 1799 (Washington Papers)
I had the Honour to receive your favour of the 25th of June last, some weeks ago; I am very much obliged to you for what you have done respecting the Prints but sorry that you should have had so much trouble with them. The wonderful Events of this Campaign in Europe have entirely contradicted my speculations of last Spring, and have at least removed to a greater distance the Danger which I...

I have duly received the Letter which you did me the honour to write on the 10th Decr last, with its enclosure of the 25th July, the original of which never came to hand.
