100101From Alexander Hamilton to Wilhem and Jan Willink, Nicholaas and Jacob Van Staphorst, and Nicholas Hubbard, 26 October … (Hamilton Papers)
An attack of the malignant fever which has of late afflicted the City of Philadelphia has occasioned me to be for some time absent from that City for the recovery of my strength. Just returned to my house in its vicinity I find here your letter of the 1st of July last with its enclosures in duplicates. A letter from me previous to my late journey will have assured you of my satisfaction at the...

I have in my possession a bond of yours, assigned to me by Mr Jno. Lewis, for £146.13.4d—payable with interest the 18. day of may last. I should be glad if you would cause it to be discharged as soon as convenient, as I am in want of the money.

100103From George Washington to John Francis Mercer, 26 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
Since my arrival at this place from Philada the attachmt of which the enclosed is a copy has been served upon me. I wish to be informed by you how I am to proceed in this business, & what steps, if any, are necessary to be taken by me in consequence thereof. Notwithstanding the directions you have given to the contrary, there rarely comes a Collector who does not present (mingled with my own)...
100104To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 26 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
I had this moment the honor of receiving your letter of the 23d instant by a special messenger from Philadelphia. As he is impatient to return, and I mean to write a duplicate for Elkton, I will trouble you with but a short communication. At Baltimore and Elkton, two letters of different dates are waiting for your arrival; one written on the 23d, the other on the 25th instant. Since the...
100105To George Washington from Elizabeth Foote Washington, 26 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
Docter Stuarts stay here was so short the other day & he appear’d to be in such hast to be gone, that mr Washington apprehends he may not have been so circumstantial in his detail of Mr Washingtons case as is necessary, for the cancer Docter to form his judgment on, therefore we have taken the liberty to trouble you with another, as you were so good to mention to mr Washington when you were...
100106From George Washington to William Pearce, 27 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 19th came duly to hand. Tomorrow I leave this for Philadelpa or the vicinity of it; where, when you have occasion to write to me, direct your letters. As you seemed to be in doubt whether a proper character could be engaged in the part of the Country you live in, to look after my Negro Carpenters; and (having much work to do in their way, & not being willing to leave matters...
100107To Thomas Jefferson from Edmond Charles Genet, 27 October 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Je viens de recevoir avec votre lettre du 3. de ce mois l’acte de déstitution du Citoyen duplaine Vice Consul de la Republique à Boston et Je m’empresse de vous déclarer que Je n’en reconnois point la validité parceque la Constitution des Etats unis n’a point donné au Président le droit qu’il paroit vouloir s’arroger aujourdhui. Elle l’a chargé Comme premier Ministre du peuple Americain...

Th:J. will be obliged to Mr. Randolph to make George prick out the inclosed grains of wheat below the garden wall or wherever he thinks best. It is of the genuine early wheat gathered by Mr. Jones in a field here which was reaped on the 5th. of June.—So far all well. I set out in the stage between 3. and 4. in the morning. Adieu. RC ( DLC : TJ Papers, 94: 16106); partially dated; addressed:...
100109To Alexander Hamilton from Winthrop Sargent, 28 October 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
Again I presume to solicit your attention to my petition refered to you by Congress, in their session of 1790 for report. My Distresses from the Delay in this Business have been considerable, from calculating upon an Addition of Salery I have accumulated Expenses in the Discharge of my public Duties trusting to that Provision, which I flattered myself would long since have been made therefor....
100110To George Washington from “A Citizen of Virginia”, 28 October 1793 (Washington Papers)
The question, no doubt, has often occurred to you; “where will the Congress meet”? “by their adjournment,” which is law to them, at Philadelphia; but, by a physical necessity, more injurious, than law itself, at Philadelphia, they cannot meet. you, Sir, as President of the United States, by the impolitic and narrow jealousy of the Constitution, have a right to convene Congress; but, not to...
