193From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 6 May 1794 (Washington Papers)
(Private) Dear Sir, [Philadelphia] May 6th 1794. In answering your note of yesterday, respecting the request of Mr Talleyrand de Perigord, I do not hesitate to declare that, I find it difficult to hit upon a line of conduct towards characters, under the description that Gentleman is—Emigrants—that is satisfactory to my own mind; or more properly, that is free from exception, by avoiding what...
194From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 2 November 1796 (Washington Papers)
On monday Afternoon I arrived in this City, and among the first things which presented themselves to my view, was Mr Adets letter to the Secretary of State, published by his order, in the moment it was presented. The object in doing this is not difficult of solution; but whether the publication in the manner it appears, is by order of the Directory, or an act of his own, is yet to be learnt....
195From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 28 November 1795 (Washington Papers)
If indisposition, or business of a pressing nature, should have prevented your looking into, and making a digest of the papers I sent you on the 16th Inst. I pray you to return them to me by the first Post after this letter is received. The meeting of Congress is near at hand—and there is good reason to expect a punctual attendance of the members. I should be extremely unwilling therefore to...
196From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 4 April 1791 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 27th Ult. came duly to hand. For the information contained in it—and for the notes which accompanied the same, I thank you. Every expedient, as I believe you know, is in operation to avert a War with the hostile Indian tribes—and to keep those who are in treaty with us in good temper; but I am nearly thoroughly convinced that neither will be effected, or, if effected, will...

199From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 2 October 1791 (Washington Papers)
Your letter of the 24th ulto, (enclosing a letter from Govr St Clair, and sundry papers relating to the subject of the settlements which have been made under purchases from Judge Symmes) I have duly received. The Secretary of State, as well as I recollect, has already written to both Govr. St Clair & Judge Symmes on this subject; but whether he has or has not, it can make no material...
200From George Washington to Alexander Hamilton, 22 December 1795 (Washington Papers)
Have you seen or heard more of young Fayette since you last wrote to me on that subject? Where did he go to? Did you deliver him the letter I sent under cover to you for him? His case gives me pain, and I do not know how to get relieved from it. His sensibility I fear is hurt, by his not acknowledging the receipt of my letter to him; and yet, if considerations of a higher nature are opposed to...
