1From George Washington to Tobias Lear, 7 November 1790 (Washington Papers)
Your letters of the 28th & 31st Ult. are now before me, & the parts of them wch require it, shall be answered.

The propriety, however, of this will...

I had the honour to write to you 4th instant to which I beg leave to refer you. Since then I have received the paper inclosed from Mr. Aust which I beg to submit to your Consideration.

4From Thomas Jefferson to Andrew Donald, 7 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved at New York your account, but could not do any thing in it till I could come here, and have recourse to my papers. I find the balance of £27–3–9 due, which I have desired Colo. Nichs.

5From Thomas Jefferson to George Gilmer, 7 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I do not sufficiently recollect the case of Mr. Harmer’s will to venture any opinion. When I arrive at Philadelphia I hope to find there my papers arrived from Paris, among which is your letter stating the case. I will there revise it, and write you what I think of it. I will confer with Madison on it also. Perhaps he will be able to give me a sight of the act of assembly respecting it. I wish...

8Abigail Adams to John Quincy Adams, 7 November 1790 (Adams Papers)
perhaps a few lines from my own Hand may serve to put you more at your ease than an account of my Health from any other person. I have indeed had a very severe sickness in which both Body and mind sufferd, and the care which devolved upon me in consequence of my being in the midst of Removal I found too much for me. the least buisness put me into such a Tremour as would prevent my getting any...
9To James Madison from Francis Taylor, 7 November 1790 (Madison Papers)
You did me the favour on a former occasion, to offer the claim I made for half pay, to Mr Dunscomb Comr of Army accounts in Virginia, when he kept his office at Richmond; and I never could account for his answer, “That he could find no evidence of my having been an officer in the Continental line,” although my Capts commission, signed by the President of Congress, was with the papers I sent...
