26351Alexander Hamilton, Aaron Burr, and Ebenezer Stevens to James McHenry, [14 June 1798] (Hamilton Papers)
We have carefully attended to the subjects presented to our consideration, by your note of yesterday and now offer to you the result of our reflections. The idea of a succession of batteries from the Hook, to the City, very naturally occurs in contemplating the defence of this port, and doubtless has advantages. It would present dangers in the approach which may be expected to have...

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 6th Inst: The letter it enclosed was for Messrs Keller & Forman; merchants in this City; to whom I delivered it immediately on receipt of the same.—They inform’d me that your former letter was by them received and that they had omitted to answer it.— I am Sir with great respect your humble Servant MHi : Coolidge Collection.
26353Charles Burrall to Thomas Jefferson, 6 March 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
In consequence of the removal of M r Granger , there will be many efforts made to remove the subordinate officers in our Dep t especially where their offices are worth having, and already have individuals began to practice their insiduous arts to obtain mine—From, your personal knowledge of me, and from an opinion entertained by myself, that your sentiments have been favorable to me I have...
26354To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Burrall, 19 August 1808 (Jefferson Papers)
I have thought it my duty to acquaint you with an unpleasant circumstance that appeared at my office on Monday last. By the Southern Mail of that day I received a packet addressed “Baltimore Md” which contained an open letter from you to the Secretary of the Navy and a packet for the Secretary of the Treasury.—It occurred to me that there had been a omission in the address, or that they had...
26355To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Burrall, 20 May 1803 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your Note of the 10th Inst, covering two letters, one for Mr Skipwith, & the other for Mr Barnet both of which I forwarded by the Brig Henry, Capt Sherman that sailed on the 12th Inst for Bourdeaux.

26356Charles Burrall to Thomas Jefferson, 22 March 1814 (Jefferson Papers)
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 16 th Ins t and to assure you that although the favorable sentiments you have expressed of my character and conduct, would at all times have been highly gratifying to my feelings, yet that they are peculiarly so at this period, when I have been so unjustly assailed; and indeed Sir, that I want language to express to you, the...
26357To Thomas Jefferson from Charles Burrall, 5 March 1807 (Jefferson Papers)
I have this day received a bundle of Fruit Trees from Lancaster for you which I shall forward by one of the Stages tomorrow morning. They are well secured and have arrived here without any injury whatever and I flatter myself you will receive them in like good order at W City.—The Driver of the Stage will be directed to leave them at your Home as he passes through W City, but in case he should...
26358Charles Burrall to Thomas Jefferson, [7 March 1814] (Jefferson Papers)
Since writing my letter of yesterday an insiduous piece has appeared against me in the Whig , which I enclose— It contains many unfounded suggestions to my prejudice, altho it tacitly admits that I have done my duty with correctness & impartiality—I have loaned to government more money than I could make by my office in Six years, and of six people employed in my office there is but one, a poor...
26359To George Washington from Charles Burrall, 15 May 1793 (Washington Papers)
I think it my duty in the absence of the Postmaster General to inform you that Thomas Sloss Gantt who was imprisoned in Baltimor⟨e⟩ on a charge of robbing the Mail, has lately made his escape under such circumstances as to excite a suspicion, that the means of securing him hav⟨e⟩ been voluntarily neglected. I have the honor to enclose for your perusal a copy of the correspondence between the...
