Alexander Hamilton Papers

From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Stoddert, 2 June 1800

To Benjamin Stoddert, 2 June 1800

N York June 2nd. 1800

Sir,

The enclosed letter is from certain prisoners of war who have omitted to mention to me the place where they are confined. I presume they are naval prisoners. As the honor character of the U States is concerned in the affair which is the subject of the letter I send it to you that you may do in it the case whatever shall appear to you proper—

B. Stoddert Esqr.
