To Alexander Hamilton from James McHenry, 4 June 1798

From James McHenry

Philada. 4 June 1798

My dear Hamilton

I have just recd. yours of the 1st.

I have calculated to be able to leave this on Wednesday, to examine the harbour of New York, and to with the aid of the best advice I can procure, determine what further works can be constructed out of the means that can be spared.

Be kind enough to Tell Col. Stevens1 to have a pilot boat engaged and the proper apparatus ready to take depths and ascertain the quality of the ground on bottom.

Yours

Col. Hamilton
