11To Thomas Jefferson from George Hammond, 30 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I beg leave to return you my acknowledgements for your very obliging favor of the 28th.

12To Thomas Jefferson from George Hammond, 30 January 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Since my arrival in this country, I have passed over in silent disregard many malevolent insinuations upon the subject of the Indian war, which have been repeatedly thrown out against my Country, in the public prints, and have suffered their futility and falsehood to defeat the purposes, for which they might have been fabricated. But when I learn from the papers of this morning, that, in...

16To Thomas Jefferson from George Hammond, 6 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have been so much engaged for the last five or six days, that I have not had it in my power sooner to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 30th March. I have however now the honor of submitting to your consideration some few remarks on the several points, contained in my statement, of which you require an explanation.
