361To George Washington from Timothy Pickering, 14 September 1795 (Washington Papers)
I have the honor to inclose a letter from Colo. Lowther to Governor Brooke, and an extract from the Governor’s letter of the 4th relating to it. I have written to the Governor that I should submit the matter to you.: In the mean time informing him that peace was now made with the Indian tribes on all the frontiers of the U. States; & that even Mero District was enjoying perfect tranquility;...

The inclosed letter from Mr Paleski, the Prussian Consul being marked “duplicate,” I suppose the Original may have already fallen under your notice. I thought it proper however to lay it before you: at the same time it appears to be so clear a case, that I have written an answer to Mr Paleski, suggesting that the prolonging of a treaty is tantamou[n]t to the making of a treaty, in which the...

The Pittsburg mail is arrived, but no letter from General Wayne. I suspect he has sent dispatches by an officer who is taking the route thro’ the Wilderness. Mr Hodgden this moment mentions the intelligence he had from his neighbour Mr Vanuxem, a mercantile agent for the French, who told him last evening, that the Secretary of the French Legation here said that a national vessel had arrived at...

Yesterday I received the inclosed letter from Mr Boudinot. Not knowing Dr Isaac Smith, I thought it would be your wish to have some information of him beyond what is communicated in that letter. And there being a connection between Mr Boudinot’s and Dr Rush’s family, I judged that I might make some confidential enquiries of the Doctor, with propriety and safety. Doctor Rush knew Dr Smith—that...

On Saturday I was honoured with your letter of the 16th I am yet without any intelligence from General Wayne. But Colo. Sargeant who arrived on Friday, and called on me on Saturday, showed me a copy of the treaty, without the names subscribed to it, and expressed his surprize that the original had not been received. I was sorry to learn from him that finally there was but a small...

I wrote you on Friday, informing that on that day two vessels were to sail for England carrying the two copies of the treaty ratified and the papers which were to accompany them, and one packet for Mr Monroe, to be forwarded by Mr Deas. A second will be sent to Mr Monroe by the first vessel to Hamburg; and the others by the first conveyances to France. The letters to Mr Pinckney are not yet...

I have the honour to inclose a copy of Governor Fenner’s letter of the 12th instant which will show in what manner he has complied & will comply with your requests respecting Mr Moore the British Vice Consul at New-port, and Captain Home; and the sense of the people on your measures in this case. I think they will be universally acceptable. Mr Wolcott went last Friday to Elizabeth-town to meet...

I have in some measure anticipated your wishes of information relative to General Wayne’s treaty: and now have the pleasure to inclose a copy received yesterday evening, with an extract from his letter of the 9th ulto being all that he says on the subject. He has obtained more land than was expected. The chiefs who signed the treaty are not numerous: but I observe among them the names of Blue...
