1To Alexander Hamilton from George Washington, 29 October 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
A voluminous publication is daily expected from Mr. R——. The paper alluded to in the extract of his letter to me, of the 8th. instt. and inserted in all the Gazettes, is a letter of my own, to him; from which he intends (as far as I can collect from a combination of circumstances) to prove an inconsistency in my conduct, in ratifying the Treaty with G. Britain, without making a rescinding (by...
2From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 29 October 1795 (Washington Papers)
Two or three days ago I wrote you a few lines in haste, and promised one more lengthy when I was more at leisure. for this purpose I am now seated. The letters from young Fayette and Mr Frestal; my letter to Mr Cabot; and his answer (all of which are herewith enclosed for your perusal—mine in the rough state it was first drawn—and to be returned when read) will give you a full view of what I...

4To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 29 October 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I send you abstracts of all the payments to the President to the present time. It is a fact that more money has been at times advanced than was due for service , but never a Dollar for which there was no Appropriation . The villany of the suggestion against the President has induced me to reply to the Calm Observer on the 26th. & 28th. You will see what I have said & the inclosed papers will...

6To Thomas Jefferson from William Branch Giles, 29 October 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I arrived in this place last evening, and found the memorial contained in the inclosed paper in circulation here, although I heard nothing of it in Richmond where I have spent several of the last preceeding days. Upon inquiry I find it almost impossible to get any paper respecting the treaty into the press here without some pointed remarks upon its unconstitutional feature, which is considered...

On my way from Mt Vernon to this city, I met your favor, with the Packages, committed to the care of Mr Fay and pray you to accept my thanks for your attention to them. From the former place I sent you a parcel which came under cover to me from Sir John Sinclair which I hope got safe to your hands. They were put in charge of my Secretary Mr Dandridge whom I directed to send them by a safe hand...
8To James Madison from James Monroe, 29 October 1795 (Madison Papers)
To day the members of the Directoire are to be chosen. Yesterday the two houses were organised and the prospect is that the present will be a propitious Era in the history of the revolution. The spirit of dissention seems already to be checked by the seperation of the members into different chambers. If suitable men are put into the Directoire the happiest effects must result from the change,...
9To James Madison from Joseph Jones, 29 October 1795 (Madison Papers)
Circumstances will not allow of my visiting Albemarle before I return from the genl. court where I must be on the 9th. or 10th. next month. I wished much to see you before I went to Richmond to know your sentiments whr. any and what course shod. be taken by the legislature respecting the present situation of our affairs—with great propriety may the legislature instruct their Senators. I see no...

In the Prussian dominions during the life, of the late illustrious Monarch of that Kingdom, the meanest Vassal, or Peasant, had the priviledge, of approa⟨ch⟩ing their Monarch, either by Memorial, or in person, & making known to him their distress in case they were injur⟨ed⟩ or oppressed by a fellow Citizen, and almost in all Cases, He caused immediate Justice to be done.
