1To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 28 August 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
As soon as I returned to this City, and had waded through the Papers, and other matters which were laid before me on my arrival, and claimed my earliest attention I recollected the request in your letter of the 19th. of June, and herewith enclose copies of the Papers agreeably to that request.

2To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 6 July 1796 (Jefferson Papers)
When I inform you, that your letter of the 19th. Ulto. went to Philadelphia and returned to this place, before it was received by me; it will be admitted, I am persuaded, as an apology for my not having acknowledged the receipt of it sooner.

3To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 4 October 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
Your letter of the 12th. Ulto., after travelling to Philadelphia and back again, was received by me, at this place, the 1st. instant.

Her application to me is unquestionably misplaced, and to Congress it would certainly be unavailing, as the...

A short time since I wrote to you, and hope the letter got safe to your hands. If this should reach them, it is intended to introduce Mr. Strickland , of Yorkshire in England, to your civilities and attention. His merits, independent of the recommendation of Sir Jno. Sinclair, will entitle him to them. From Monticello, Mr. Strickland intends crossing the ridge for Winchester; and to return to...
5To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 15 March 1795 (Jefferson Papers)
I received your letter of the 23d. ulto.; but not at so early a period as might have been expected from the date of it. My mind has always been more disposed to apply the shares in the inland navigations of Potomac and James River (which were left to my disposal by the legislature of Virginia) towards the endowment of a University in the U States, than to any other object it had contemplated....

7To Thomas Jefferson from George Washington, 1 January 1794 (Jefferson Papers)
I yesterday received with sincere regret your resignation of the office of Secretary of State. Since it has been impossible to prevail upon you, to forego any longer the indulgence of your desire for private life; the event, however anxious I am to avert it, must be submitted to. But I cannot suffer you to leave your Station, without assuring you, that the opinion, which I had formed, of your...
