74To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 6 November 1794 (Washington Papers)
The two copies are completed; and I pledge myself, that the transcribers are as silent on the contents as the grave. Colo. Griffin tells me, that Parker and Blount are feeling the pulse of the members upon the article of expence, incurred by the late expedition. This circumstance enables me to say to you, without forcing an opportunity, that I am determined, let it cost what labour it may, to...
75To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 6 November 1794 (Washington Papers)
I saw Mr Woolcott; and upon consultation, it was thought better, that he should proceed with the bank, as upon his own credit; and write immediately to the Secretary of the treasury for a more official sanction, than he yet possesses—We agreed also, that the original of the letter, which he wrote to you, and the copy, which he sent, should be destroyed. If this be agreeable, you will be...

I have the honor of inclosing to you the translation of a letter from Mr Fauchet; and to request your instruction, whether it may not be better to grant a pardon under the peculiar circumstances of the case.

78To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 28 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
I do myself the honor of inclosing to you the first draught of the speech. In its arrangement and matter no change is intended by me, unless you should think proper to say something as to the too great ease of naturalization. The propriety of this is perhaps doubtful. However a note is made in the margin for your consideration. The matter is compounded of the sketch sent me, and what occurred...
79To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 25 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
In consequence of Mr Dandridge’s letter of the 20th instant from Bedford, the daily expresses are discontinued, and one is to go to the army only every other day. I should not have written now, but to inform you, that I shall have the draught in sufficient forwardness on your return; having made progress in it. Indeed if I knew your sense as to the matter, which you approve to be inserted, it...
80To George Washington from Edmund Randolph, 23 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
The letter from Dr Edwards, which I have the honor of inclosing, is remarkable; as it comes from a man, who has been always considered, as being associated in what are called the Blue-Stocking politics of Pennsylvania. The letter, to which he alludes from Mr Jay, is on the 31st of July, and the original had been long ago received. A Jersey paper of Yesterday contains the second number of a...
