A letter from the Secretary of State Mr Randolph written to us on the 3 of february of the present year, in reply to one which we had the honor of addressing to your Excellency on the 15 of October of the last year with respect to the nomination of Mr Arnold Delius to the office of Consul of the United States of America in this City, gave us the pleasing expectation that you would nominate a...
ALS : American Philosophical Society Comme les Provinces unies de l’Amerique Septentrionale doivent principalement au merite distingué de Votre Excellence l’indépendance et la souveraineté, dont ils jouissent aujourd’hui, en vertu du traité, conclu avec Sa Majesté Britannique , nous prenons la liberté de feliciter Votre Excellence de voir couronné Son ouvrage.

Letter not found: from Gen. John Burgoyne, 11 Feb. 1778. In his letter to Burgoyne of 11 Mar. 1778 , GW referred to “your very obliging Letter of the 11th of February.”
I beg you to accept my sincerest acknowledgements for your very obliging letter. I find the character which I before knew to be respectable is also perfectly amiable; and I should have few greater private gratifications in seeing our melancholy contest at an end than that of cultivating your friendship. I shall take particular care of your letter to Mr Fairfax. He is a gentleman I much esteem,...
Your Excellency will have observed by the dispatch from Sir Willm Howe to me which passed thorough your hands, that it was matter of great doubt whether the transports destined to carry the troops to England according to the Convention would be able to make the Port of Boston in this advanced season of the year; & therefore that it might be advisable to send them to Rhode Island, upon the...
I was prevented, by business, from answering your letter as early, this day as I wished. I shall now make a few remarks on the subject of it. The attack which I conceived you made on the southern Militia, was, in my opinion a most unprovoked and cruel one. Whether the candour of your friends conveyed to you any intimation of it I know not: but the occasion will, I hope, excuse me if I assure...
I gave to an English Gentleman, Mr. Brown, a Letter of introduction to You, as a man that has seen the world much, and is, I think, respectable for polite manners and information. I introduced him also to Genl. Dear-borne, in the Character I mentioned to You; I believe I was strictly correct in it. Since I wrote, it has been lately mentioned to me, that he is a candidate for some employment...
Your letter of this day in which you explictly declare that you had no intention, in your Eulogium on General Green, to cast any reflection on Militia in general, or on any description of the Citizens of South-Carolina, removes all ground of dissatisfaction on my part. I therefore cheerfully and explicitly retract every thing offensive which I said in the House of Representatives on Wednesday...
5 June 1801, Charleston. Introduces Mr. Brown, “an English Gentleman who has resided amoung us in this City for two or three years past, and who stands in great respect and estimation in the Circle he mixed in.” RC ( DLC ). 1 p.
I remember, it was about the last fortnight that we served together in Congress, in 1791. I one day called You aside, and mentioned the name of Mr. Phillip Freneau to You, as one I knew You esteemed, and then lay strugling under difficulties, with his family. My memory brings to my recollection, that You mentioned the Matter to the Secretary of State, Mr. Jefferson. Freneau was invited from N....
