2From Alexander Hamilton to Gouverneur Morris, 22 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your three letters of the 21st of March, 6th and 10th of April have been received, and gave me great pleasure. I accept your challenge to meet you in the field of mutual confidential communication; though I cannot always promise punctuality, or copiousness. I will however do the best I can. Will it not be a necessary preliminary to agree upon a Cypher? One has been devised for me, which though...
3From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 24 May 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
The bearer hereof, Mr. Barnes, is, as I understand, the representative of the company concerned in the steam navigation of the late Mr. Rumsey, was the attorney of Mr. Rumsey here, and goes now to Europe to secure the benefit of his discoveries to those entitled to them. In times like these he may need your protection as a stranger, and at all times would merit it as a man of worth and...
4From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 12 July 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
My last to you was of the 16th. of June. Your favor of Apr. 25. from London was received yesterday just in time to be put into the hands of the President before he set out for Virginia. I shall follow him tomorrow, and not return till the last of September. Consequently I shall probably not write to you again before that date. The public papers will be regularly sent to you during my absence...
5From George Washington to Gouverneur Morris, 14 August 1790 (Washington Papers)
I have lately received a letter and my account from Wakelin Welch & Son of London, dated June 1st by which I perceive there was at that time a bala[n]ce of mine in their hands of only 95.16 Sterlg. This is a less sum than I imagined was there; and as their letter mentions their having informed you of the balance, and it is probable your draughts upon them may exceed that sum, exclusive of...
6From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 11 September 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
My late letters to you have been of Aug. 16. 23. and 26: and a duplicate of the two first will accompany this. Yours lately received are Apr. 4. 5. 11. 19. May 20. and June 1. being Nos. 26. to 31. I have little particular to say to you by this opportunity which may be less certain than the last.—The North Western Indians have refused to meet our Commissioners unless they would agree to the...
7From George Washington to Gouverneur Morris, 7 July 1790 (Washington Papers)
This letter will be short—The intention of it being little more than to acknowledge the receipt of your several favors from London, dated the 7 and 13 of April and 1 and 2 of May, on the business which had been entrusted to you of a public nature; and of your other letters of the 12. of April and 3 of May, which more immediately related to my private concerns. Permit me to thank you, my good...
8Enclosure: William Short to Gouverneur Morris, 7 September 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
The Hague, September 7, 1792. “… In my last I informed you of Hogguer’s refusing to recieve the payment you had agreed for with the commissaries in any other than the mode he has hitherto practised; namely by giving a draught for the amount on the national treasury; & of my finally (after the rect. of your letter) directing our bankers to make the payment to him, not withstanding my own...
9From Thomas Jefferson to Gouverneur Morris, 26 November 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
I have yet to acknowledge the receipt of your two favors of Apr. 10. and July 7. By the latter it would seem as if you had written an intermediate one which has never come to hand: and the letter of July 7. itself was not recieved till the 14th. of October, while I was in Virginia from which I am but just returned. The President is not yet returned, tho’ expected tomorrow.—The Declaration and...
