I have found there is a day-school, kept by an elderly man and his wife, near to our house, and if master is willing that I should go to it for two months, I think it would be of great service to me, and at the same time I will not neglect my work in the house, if you please, sir. New-York, 29th December.
I shall feel very unhappy to be with some Militia while the Light Infantry is acting under you, and had I been sent for, I would have joined you very fast; but if you can take New-York I will heartily forget that I could have been there, and feel nothing but joy; if, however, there was time enough, I'd beg you will send for me. If you send troops this way I believe they may strike a great blow.
But it is not New-York streets built by the confluence of workmen and wealth of all nations, though stretching out towards Philadelphia until they touch it, and northward until they touch New Haven, Hartford, Springfield, Worcester, and Boston, not these that make the real estimation.
In 1820, the New-York Legislature instructed the representatives from that state in Congress, to insist on making "the prohibition of slavery an indispensable condition of admission" of certain territories into the union.

You will shortly receive an explanation of this controversy, but not from me. Very affectionately yours, New-York, August 2, 1802. Your letter of the 18th is received.

Who, for instance, talks scandal of his grocer, or of his shoemaker? No, no, our pride forbids this; we always make our betters the subject of our strictures by preference, taking up with our equals only when we can get none of a higher class." "This quite reconciles me to having been given to Sir George Templemore, by the world of New-York," said Eve, smiling.
Under the tolerant rule of 'Good Queen Anne, many French refugees obtained peaceful abodes in Richmond county. In their escape from their own land, multitudes had been kindly received in England, and afterward accepted a permanent and safe shelter in the Province of New-York. What a noble origin had the Staten Island Christian refugees!
When it was done, he exclaimed with enthusiasm, "There is the best work I have ever done in America." Your letter must be addressed to Washington. The dear little boy, I hope, made a good sailor. Adieu. New-York, December 16, 1802. Your letter of the 26th November came yesterday, that of the 25th the day preceding.
