The President has been informed by his manager at Mount Vernon that the work of his mill is in such a stage as not to admit of any delay in erecting your improvements without stopping the whole progress of the work, which at this time would be a serious inconvenience.

181943From George Washington to Jonathan Trumbull, Sr., 14 January 1783 (Washington Papers)
I enclose a Letter from Major Tallmadge to Your Excellency which came under a flying seal to my hands; the observations contained in it appear to be highly worthy of consideration. The importance of absolutely cutting off all manner of commerce & illicit intercourse with the Enemy is so great, and at the same time so obvious, that I conceive it only necessary to recommend the subject, without...

181947To Thomas Jefferson from Nicolas Gouin Dufief, 15 May 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
D’après les informations que j’ai prises des principaux negocians de cette ville, il parait certain qu’il ne partira point de Bâtimens pour France d’ici à un mois au moins—Et comme deux occasions se présentent à la fois pour Hambourg, j’ai cru qu’il vaudrait mieux profiter d’une des deux pour y envoyer la lettre que vous m’avez confiée que d’attendre peut-être inutilement pendant longtems—...

I have duly recd. yours of the 17th. accompanied by the Direct tax bill which I have not yet been able to run thro’. Every thing I perceive is carried as the war party chuse. They will of course be the more responsible for consequences. The disposition to continue the Session is a proof that the operation of the irritating proceedings here on those of France is expected to furnish fresh fuel...
