Your letter of the 28th. Feby. on the subject of a 2d. edition of your Geography with the chapter concerning Virginia extracted from the 1st. came duly to hand. I have hitherto delayed answering it, in hopes that the adjournment of Congs. & my return to Virginia would afford me leisure & oppy. to execute the little task you allotted me. Finding now that the period within which your new work is...
Your letter of the 4th. May, has been so long in hand that I am really sorry to be obliged to acknowledge the receipt of it, without complying with the request it makes. In my present situation, it has not been possible to furnish the information immediately of myself. I have accordingly been obliged to apply by letters to friends in those parts of the Country where the information was to be...
You will confer a favour upon me by permitting me to render you the little service which may be in my power on the present occasion & without compensation. Be assured it will give real pleasure & let that be my recompence. Mr. Kent & I have conferred on your affair. It is necessary for us to see the book in question in order to a safe opinion. Can one be had? With respect & esteem   Sir   Your...
I have been fav[ore] d . with yours of the 14 ult. and also with the one which accompanied the Set of your Geography, for which be pleased to accept my Thanks.— It gives me Pleasure to learn that you will endeavour at least to prepare for a History of the American Revolution. To obtain competent and exact Information on the Subject, is not the least arduous part of the Task— it will require...
You will herewith recieve Copies of the acts of our two last Sessions. a variety of official and other affairs, which altho’ in numerous Instances of little Importance, yet required to be dispatched with punctuality, induced me from time to time to postpone replying to your obliging Letter of the 19 th . of Nov r . & to thank you for the interesting Pamphlets you was so kind as to send with...
The letter with which you were pleased to favour me, dated the first instant, accompanying your thanksgiving Sermon came duly to hand. For the latter I pray you to accept my thanks. I have read it, and the Appendix with pleasure, and wish the latter at least, could meet a more general circulation than it probably will have, for it contains important information, as little known out of a small...
I thank you for your Sermon “Exhibiting the present dangers, and consequent duties of the Citizens of the United States of America” which came to hand by the last Post: and which I am persuaded I shall read with approbating pleasure, as soon as some matters in which I am engaged at present, are dispatch’d. With esteem and regard I am, Revd Sir, Your Obedt & obliged Humble Servant ALS , owned...
I am much obliged by your favor of the 5th, & for your introduction of Aaron Putnam Esqr, with whose person & conversation, I have been much pleased. The preparations for a decisision on the great subject are so advanced, that I hope it will not be postponed much longer. But there are so many great objects involved in the question, and so many considerations, great & small to be attended to,...
Several Affairs more interesting to others than to me, have for some months past so pressed upon me, as together with official Business, to leave me little Leisure to attend to my own Concerns— Hence I have been constrained into Delays respecting my correspondents, which could not have been less agreable to their Feelings than to my own— Accept my Thanks for several Communications with which...
Though it is “a terrible thing” for “eyes with reading almost blind” to go over between three and four hundred pages of ms. History, I have read “the General history of the United States” with more delight than it would be prudent for me to express. It is written in the pure spirit of an upright and faithful and impartial American. I see in it none of those panegyrical Romances which compose...
