1To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, [12 November 1796] (Hamilton Papers)
Owing to the absence of Mr Whelen the matter with his concern was not settled till just before my late illness. I am now just getting out. The Pattersons take back their balance, about 10,000 Ds in their Lands and we take a moiety of the remainder. Out of these Mr Church will have to the amount of his remaining 17¾ tracts, taking none but what have been ours, and by a fair draughting Lot. I...
2To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 13 June 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
Mr. Whelen informed me that he would call upon me soon to fix some preliminaries about the arbitration. I soon expect him but have not yet seen him on the subject. I have not heard of any improvement condition in regard to the lands of Aliens in Pennsylvania, and am satisfied there can be none to effect Mr. Church’s purchases with me. It would be an expostfact to provision—in equitable & void....
3To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 31 May 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
Mr. Whelen & I do not understand that he had made a proposition to you to let Mr. Church take back what remains in their Hands of Mr. Church’s original interest in the lands sold him & Company. You will find on a revision of my Letter of the 17th. inst. that it does not convey that Idea and you will perceive on reflection that it could not. The matter stood thus. When you were here at the...

[ Philadelphia, May 17, 1796. On May 31, 1796, Coxe wrote to Hamilton and referred to “my Letter of the 17th. inst.” Letter not found. ] Coxe, who had been first a Loyalist and then a Patriot during the American Revolution, was a member of the Continental Congress in 1787 and 1788, Assistant to the Secretary of the Treasury from 1790 until the abolition of that office in 1792, and commissioner...
5To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 17 May 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
I mentioned to you that the Board of Property had decided in favor of Ball & Smiths Warrants, but I presume it has escaped your Memory. After this six months are given by our laws for an appeal to the courts of Law. I hoped that this would elaps—but about the last day the process was served. I have apprized my council, in the former stage, of the present situation of the matter & due care will...
6To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 14 December 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have transmitted to Walter Rutherford Esqr. for two years intt. on my bond to J. B. Church Esqr. the sum of Six hundred Dollars which will be delivered to you or any gentleman in your office who will exhibit to him my Bond with a receipt for that sum thereon. I have been in the woods as I believe I informed you upon the Business of Ball & Smith’s contract. The advantages in favor of the...
7To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, [4 August 1795] (Hamilton Papers)
I have been prevented from answering your last letter partly by a journey into the woods, which I have since risqued in person to secure justice in laying the warrants under Ball & Smith, and partly by the difficulties arising with Messrs. Wheelen, Miller & Co. they had from me certain counter Notes for the Greater part of the Notes furnished by them, which I do assure you I was not able to...
8To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, 10 May 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
Since I wrote you last I have recd. a reconveyance for eleven tracts of the land formerly Church & Coxe’s & sold to Wheelen Miller & Co—taken out by lot or draught. The deed was made to Mr. Church in consequence of our law being repeated, which gives foreigners a right to hold lands in Pennsa. & before your letter about Mr. Anthony appeared. If it be not agreeable to have the title so the deed...

[ Philadelphia, February 25, 1795. At the bottom of an account which Coxe enclosed in his letter to Hamilton on February 17–18, 1795, Coxe wrote : “(see letter or Note to Mr. Hamilton of Feby 25. 1795) with copy hereof.” Letter not found. ]
10To Alexander Hamilton from Tench Coxe, [22 February 1795] (Hamilton Papers)
Messrs. Wheelen & Miller & Co. not having sent me the papers relative to the part of Patterson’s & Co’s. concern on Friday I walked up to your House with the inclosed Bond, which was all that remained for me to do alone in the land concerns or the Business of the Loan to me. I regretted to find you were gone. I had a wish to pay my last respects to Mrs. H—— and Mrs. Coxe called within an hour...
