RANDOLPH, EDMUND. Autograph Letter Signed, "Edm: Randolph," to an unnamed recipient, concerning the accusations against him and his resigna-tion. 1 page, single 4to sheet; expert restoration at top and bottom of letter, with a small portion of one word in manuscript facsimile, silked. Philadelphia, 2 October 1795 E1,500/2,500 IN FULL:"Since I wrote to you from Fairfield, I have received your friendly favor; and hold myself justified in saying to you (as the fact is) that Mr. Fauchet has by the most positive declarations repelled all the insinuations arising from his letter. I expect soon to send you a statement of facts. But it is now manifest to me that the calumnies, which have been circulated, and the malicious movements, which have been made, were calculated first to operate in favor of the British interest in opposition to the Friends of France; secondly, to destroy the friends of republican-ism; and thirdly to remove me from office. The last, thank god, is accomplished. But god forbid, that the two first should be. Spain and France have certainly made peace. With great truth I am dear sir . . ."
