341To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 3 December 1785 (Washington Papers)
The post-offices have not been in fault in every respect; altho’ I did not receive from the one here your favor of the 5th Ulto until last night, notwithstanding my application for letters. Your inclosures of the proceedings of the Potowmack company were duly received by me: and the business of the general court pressing very urgently upon me, the answer to your favor was undertaken by the...

344To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 2 April 1794 (Washington Papers)
The message and papers appear to me to be right. The Minister of France has certified a copy of the letter, the original of which is sealed. To say therefore that the sealed letter shall not be sent, seems to argue such a distrust of his veracity, that it would be very unkindly received. It was not the opinion of Colo. Hamilton or myself, that it should be suppressed, after this assurance was...
345To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 19 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
E. Randolph has the honor of informing the President, that in a conversation last evening with Mr Madison, he was of opinion, that, altho’ the President had a legal right to dispose of the shares in the two companies, as he pleased; still it might be an unpleasant thing to Virginia to have them given to a continental, instead of a state object. Considering, that Virginia would have a...
346To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 15 December 1789 (Washington Papers)
Your friendly favor of the 30th Ultimo is this moment delivered to me. My three last letters since the 8th of October have, I hope, been received, and will satisfy you of my having determined to proceed to New York about the 15th of next month. You may be assured, that Mr Wythe neither wished nor expected to be the successor of Mr Pendleton. I will candidly tell you the reason, upon which this...
347To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 13 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
Mr Freire, the Portuguese Minister, is arrived; and he is to call upon me to-day at 2 o’clock. Mrs Washington having written this morning will have told you, that she and the family are in good health. There is great reason to fear, that the French are making rapid strides towards Amsterdam; notwithstanding the interruption, which Breda and Maestricht are likely to give them. I am writing to...

350To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 14 March 1794 (Washington Papers)
I did myself the honor of informing you the other day, that the House of Representatives would probably remit to my office the documents, which related to the vexations and spoliations on our trade; conceiving, that they were of a nature, purely executive. Yesterday the Senate, as if they meant to take up the subject in some shape or other, passed a vote, as I have heard, calling for an...
