52832To Alexander Hamilton from Christopher Gore, 20 September 1789 (Hamilton Papers)
Be pleas’d to accept my sincere acknowledgments for the politeness and attention, you discover’d in rectifying the mistake made in a conversation with mr Badcock. To lie under the imputation of acting in a character different from the one I assum’d was painful—to be consider’d in this light by one whose reputation is the boast of America was the most distressing of all circumstances that coud...
52833To James Madison from Christopher Gore, 4 June 1803 (Madison Papers)
Your Letter of the 6th. April last came to hand on the 26th. instant, a few days after the departure of Mr. King, who you will have learnt, not conceiving it to be the intention of the President, did not name any Chargé d’affaires on leaving this Court. Perceiving, however, from the Estimate of Expences that it was possible several months might elapse before the arrival of a minister I thought...
52834To John Adams from Christopher Gore, 27 May 1800 (Adams Papers)
I think it probable that my stay in this Country will not be protracted beyond the 10th June, & finding that you have gone to Washington, I fear I shall not have the honor of again paying my personal respects, before my return to Europe. Should you incline to commit to my charge letters for your son, or any other person, I will endeavour to convey them in safety, & shall esteem myself honourd...
52835To John Jay from Christopher Gore, 26 September 1796 (Jay Papers)
Since my arrival in this country, your letters have procured me many civilities & attentions— From the Lord Chancellor I have received very markt & pleasing attention— And both he, & Lady Loughborough are very particular, in their enquiries after your health & happiness— You will have learnt before this reaches you, that your late Secretary is the fifth commissioner— After it was understood...
52836To Thomas Jefferson from Christopher Gore, 15 December 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I receiv’d your favor of the 29th. ult. on the 14. instant, and immediately communicated to Consul Dannery, the intentions of Government toward him, and my own desire to comply with such their intentions—to which he replied this day. I take the liberty to enclose you copy of my letter, and his answer—and am, sir, with the greatest respect your most obed. servt RC ( DNA : RG 59, MLR ); at foot...
52837To James Madison from Christopher Gore and William Pinkney, 28 July 1802 (Madison Papers)
The unavoidable Expences of the Board of Commissioners to which we belong make it necessary that the two Governments should from time to time be required to furnish as heretofore the means of defraying them; and as it would greatly embarrass the proceedings of the Board, and materially retard the so much to be desired Conclusion of its Labours if the arrangements which it is presumed the...

We have the Honor to transmit herewith enclosed a Copy of a List lately prepared by us of the American Claims depending before our Board, in which the actual State of each Claim in reference to the judicial Remedy, and of course to the extraordinary Title to Redress under the Treaty is explained.

52839To John Jay from Christopher Gore, 24 October 1796 (Jay Papers)
I have the pleasure to inform you, that we have begun our operations, under the treaty with this country— It is impossible to prophecy, with any certainty, what will be the temper, and disposition, with which some points will be met. To decide causes, that have been determined by the Lords Commissioners of appeal, & perhaps reverse their decisions, will affect the sensibility of some men— To...
