1From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 25 January 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have examined the points of which you delivered me a memorandum for consideration. There is no doubt that the monies arising from foreign loans which have been invested in the purchase of Domestic Debt are to be placed to the account of the loan of 2000000 authorised to be made by the Act of the 12th of August 1790 and will exhaust pro tanto the authority thereby given. It is equally clear...
2From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 13 June 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
Your letter from New York after a circuit by Albany found me here. I forgot to observe to you in my last, that unless there were objections to it which did not occur to me, it appeared adviseable, if not done, to institute at Amsterdam a plan for subscribing the Dutch and Antwerp Debt. It may be conducted under the management of our Commissioners with the Superintendence of our Minister. In...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 10 August 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your letter by Saturday’s Post. The one you inquire about was received. I incline very much to the opinion that this will be the proper course of conduct in reference to the order to seize our vessels with provisions (viz) to send to our Agent the Treaty ratified as advised by the Senate with this instruction—that if the order for seizing provisions is in force when he receives...
4From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 26 [October] 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have observed in the “Aurora” a piece under the signature of “A calm Observer” which I think merits attention. It is my design to reply to it with my name but for this I wish to be furnished as soon as possible with the account of the President and of the appropriations for him as it stands in the Secretary’s office the Comptroller’s and the account rendered to Congress, & also the account...

6From James Madison to Oliver Wolcott, 17 September 1797 (Madison Papers)
The death of Major Lindsay the Collector at Norfolk requiring a new appointment to be made within your branch of the administration, Mr. Francis Taylor of that place, wishes to present himself to the attention of the Executive; and I am requested to join my voucher to that of others, in his favor. Altho’ related to him by a kindred not very remote, I have the pleasure of a slight personal...
7From John Jay to Oliver Wolcott, 20 October 1797 (Jay Papers)
It was not untill Yesterday that I recieved (under cover from Col. Talmadge) the Letter which your Excellency did me the Honor to write on the 19 th . of last Month, with the one addressed to you by several Gentlemen of Litchfield requesting your Interposition with ^me^ for the Pardon of Israel Stone, who is now under Sentence of confinement for Life on Conviction of Forgery—.

8From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 12 March 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I have written to you, heretofore, respecting Mr. Benjamin Wells who acted as a Excise officer, in the western part of Pensylvania, at the time of the disturbances there. But this Gentleman has just arrived here, and requests me to mention his case again to you. I comply with his request. It appeared, from what I saw and heard at the time, that Mr. Wells distinquished himself by persevering...
9From Alexander Hamilton to Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 7 April 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I thank you for the disposition shown to accommodate Mr. Robertson. When I saw him some days ago, he hoped that the matter would be placed upon the footing which was indicated. I would readily comply with the wish of Mr. Evans was I sure that it would not be a breach of propriety towards Mr. Madison. But if my memory does not deceive me there was a sort of understanding between us that there...
