3To John Adams from Herbert Croft, 29 May 1797 (Adams Papers)
What the Consul at this City does me the honour of transmitting to you will account for the liberty I am now taking. The paper, which I here enclose, the Consul has, of course, not seen. It may show, perhaps, some trifling use that might be made of me in private. Besides which, I should be happy, Sir, to be of any use in the education of your children; of one of whom, at Amsterdam, I hear so...

6To George Washington from George Washington Parke Custis, 29 May 1797 (Washington Papers)
Words cannot express my present sensations, a heart overflowing with joy at the success of conscience over disposition is all I have to give—Dearest Sir did you but know the effect your letter has produced it would give you as consummate pleasure, as my former one did pain —My very soul tortured with the sting of conscience at length called reason to its aid and happy for me triumphed, the...
7From George Washington to James McHenry, 29 May 1797 (Washington Papers)
I am indebted to you for several unacknowledged letters, but ne’er mind that; go on, as if you had them. You are at the source of information & can find many things to relate, while I have nothing to say that could either inform, or amuse a Secretary of War in Philadelphia. To tell him that I begin my diurnal course with the Sun; that if my hirelings are not in their places at that time I send...
8From George Washington to Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 29 May 1797 (Washington Papers)
I have received your letter of the 18th instant with its enclosures, and thank you for both. The President has, in my opinion, placed matters upon their true ground in his speech to Congress. The crisis calls for an unequivocal expression of the public mind, and the Speech will, mediately, or immediately, bring this about. Things ought not, indeed can not remain longer in their present state;...

10From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Pinckney, 29 May 1797 (Jefferson Papers)
I recieved from you, before you left England, a letter inclosing one from the Prince of Parma . As I learnt soon after that you were shortly to return to America, I concluded to join my acknolegements of it with my congratulations on your arrival; and both have been delayed by a blameable spirit of procrastination for ever suggesting to our indolence that we need not do to-day what may be done...
