It gives me real & heartfelt concern to mention, that it is an Age Since I had the Honor & Happiness of a Line from you, whom I now & always have Esteemed as the first and most Virtuous Man of this Age. The Feild of European Politics has Undergone great Changes Since your last—that Change will Still Produce more, untill Every State, Monarchist or Republican is Convulsed; But I trust the United...

I congratulate you & all your Virtuous Fellow-citizens on the conclusion of the Treaty, which is equaly honourable, & advantageous to both Nations; yet Some Evil disposed Persons, in England & here, find fault with it; in their writings & in their Coffee house conversation; they Assert, that our Ministry have yielded too much to America, & they have dared to insinuate, that the Ministry were...

I need not say much in favor of my old Friend, Mr James Napper Tandy, who will have the Honor to deliver this Letter to your Excellency; His Character & Principles are well Known on Both Sides the Atlantic. He was among the Foremost in this Kingdom, particularily in the City of Dublin to Support the Just Rights of your Glorious & Happy Fellow-Citizens—he Succesfully opposed the Introduction of...
4To George Washington from Edward Newenham, 9 March 1795 (Washington Papers)
It appears an Age to me, Since I had the Honor & Sincere pleasure of a Letter from you; my pen has not been Idle, for I wrote Several Letters, which, from not hearing from you, I fear were captured by Ships in the service of the French Republic. This has been the most Severe Winter, that we have had these 50 years; the Frost begun on the 21st of last December & it was a Constant frost & Snow...

I send this to Newry, as I see a Ship is to sail from that Port in a few days for New Yorke —a Proclamation is just Issued by this Government for all Vessels coming from Maryland, to perform Quarantine as a dangerous Fever had Spread through that State —God Send it a Speedy Stop.

It is in my mind an Age since I had the Honor of a Letter from you—I have often wrote by Different Conveyences—I hope some have arrived Safe, to shew Your Excellency that my Personal Respect & Regard can only End with my Life . In the present Critical Situation of Affairs in Europe, & respected America, I cannot Expect a Line of Politics or Even opinions from you, as the miscarriage or opening...

The enclosed was left behind by the Captain of Ship, who promised to take it along with the papers & Magazines, which I had the Honor to send you last February.

8To George Washington from Edward Newenham, 11 February 1794 (Washington Papers)
It is, in my mind, an Age since I had the Honor and the real pleasure of a Letter from you—on my part, nothing shall interrupt a Correspondence, that I so highly esteem, but my Dissolution, or your deeming me unworthy of it. The situation we are, & have been, in, for these three last years, in this Kingdom has partly altered my Line of public Conduct, particularily as the People had obtained...
9To George Washington from Edward Newenham, 12 September 1793 (Washington Papers)
To the mind of a most Sincere & unalterable Friend, it must appear a Length of years Since I was favoured with a Line from the Man, whom I have & ever shall revere, as the Greatest ornament of this Century—The Freind of the real & Constitutonal rights of Man, who, in his Glorious Career of Victory, united the Soldier, the Citizen, & Legislator—who, Equaly disdaining Popular applause, when...
10To George Washington from Edward Newenham, 7 June 1793 (Washington Papers)
I fear our Letters have lateraly been capturd, or lost, as I have not had the Honour of a Letter from you these 3 months; I sent you all our Irish Papers by the Eliza (bound to New york) from the 8th of March to the 22d of may, which I hope you recived, as I collected them with the greatest Care, that you Should Know Every opinion, reports & Circumstances of the Present war. your Excellency...
