13361From Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 28 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
Your last received was of June 29. which acknoleged a scrip of mine of June 17. Consequently my subsequent letters of June 23. 29. July 1. 7. 14. and 22. are unacknoleged, and give me so much anxiety lest some infidelity should be practised on the road, that I am afraid to do any thing more than warn you of it, if it should be so. I will send this through Mr. Maury, and the newspaper as usual...

13363From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Mann Randolph, Jr., 28 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I have to acknolege your two favors of the 11th. and 19th. inst. The miscarriage of the servants clothes has happened, I presume, from the stupidity of the person here who carried them to the vessel, and (the captain being absent) delivered them to a saylor and took his receipt. The vessel has never come to this port again since I began to suspect the roguery.—I desired Mr. Brown to let all my...

13369George Washington to the Cabinet, 29 July 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
It will not be amiss, I conceive, at the meeting you are about to have to day, to reconsider the expediency of directing the Custom house Officers to be attentive to the Arming or equipping Vessels—either for offensive or defensive War in the several Ports to which they belong—and make Report thereof to the Governor, or some other proper Officer. Unless this, or some other effectual mode is...

The Day I did myself the Honor to take my Leave of you in Philadelphia—I engaged to write to you—and I should have done so before now but the Fact is that so little can be said from hence that will give a true State of the politicks of Europe (owing to the extreem Torrent that has for some time past prevailed here on the Side of Royalty) that I have scarce thought it worth while to give you...
