Seeking 1794 State Department correspondence

I am trying to find online copies of letters to the State Department in 1794. They are at 59.2.3 of the Guide to Federal Records. I can get the index online but can't locate the letters. But I did access them a few weeks ago so I know they are there!

Dear Ms. Coleman,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched the National Archives Catalog and located Domestic Letters, 1784 - 1906 and in the General Records of the Department of State (Record Group 59) that includes Volume: 6 - Dates: Jan 2-Jun 26, 1794; Volume: 7 - Dates: Jun 27-Nov 30, 1794; and Volume: 8 - Dates: Dec 6, 1794-Oct 12, 1795. We also located Letters Received, 1789 - 1906 in Record Group 59 that includes January 1 - April 30, 1794 and May 1 - December 31, 1794. These records have been digitized and are available online via the Catalog.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!
