1From George Washington to Daniel Morgan, 26 October 1799 (Washington Papers)
Your favour of the 8th instt came duly to hand, and I should have given it an earlier acknowledgment, but waited to see Mr Law[renc]e Lewis, whom I expected here every day, before I did so. He is now arrived, and informs me that his brother John (as Executor of his father’s Will) is determined not to pay your demand against that Estate unless he is compelled to it; and that he has requested a...

I have just received a letter from the Secretary of War, in which, after giving it as the opinion of the President of the United States, that Officers for the twenty four additional Regiments ought to be had in contemplation; that, in case the exigency of our Affairs should require them, greater dispatch might be used in the formation, is the Extract which follows. Having given these Extracts,...

I had the pleasure to receive your letter of the 3d instant, covering the Copy of a letter from Captn A.C. Randolph to yourself, expressing a wish to be removed from the Infantry to the Cavalry. These letters I have forwarded to the Secretary of War, who, I have no doubt, will, considering the favourable auspices under which Captn Randolph is introduced, make any arrangement he can, consistent...
4From George Washington to Daniel Morgan, 27 March 1795 (Washington Papers)
The interest, which you have taken in the safety of John Mitchell, as expressed in your letter of the 19th of January last, would be an inducement to me to go, as far in relieving him, as public propriety will admit. But the Attorney-general having made a report of which the enclosed is a copy, I think it advisable to postpone the further consideration until his trial shall have taken place....
5From George Washington to Daniel Morgan, 8 October 1794 (Washington Papers)
In the moment I was leaving the City of Philadelphia for this place, your letter of the 24th ulto was put into my hands. Although I regret the occasion which has called you into the field, I rejoice to hear you are there; and because it is probable I may meet you at Fort Cumberland, whither I shall proceed, so soon as I see the Troops at this rendezvous in condition to advance. At that place,...

Colo. Kennedy has owed me £28 these many years. Enquiring yesterday where he lived—& into his circumstances—I was told that he had lately sold land or houses in Winchester, to you; & that it might be in your power to obtain the balance which appears upon the enclosed accot due to me. If this should be the case, you would very much oblige me, as the money has been long due & I have always found...

I have received your favor of the 25th of November, and return you my sincere thanks for your kind congratulations upon the late important success of the Allied Arms.

Surrounded as I am with a great Variety of Concerns on the present Occasion, I can yet find Time to answer your Letter of the 20th ulto—which I have received with much Satisfaction; not only as it is filled with such warm Expressions of Desire for my Success on the present Expedition, but as it breaths the Spirit & Ardor of a Veteran Soldier, who, tho impaired in the Service of Country, yet...
10From George Washington to Colonel Daniel Morgan, 27 October 1779 (Washington Papers)
The letter of which the inclosed is a copy was put into my hands a few days since. Mrs Robinson is a perfect stranger to me and I would hope has been led into some misconceptions. I have however, as not only your own honor but that of the service is concerned thought it essential to send the whole representation. Should you have been induced from any circumstances attending her capture, or the...
