In consequence of your communication of the 3d Instant I have resolved for the present to postpone the disposal of my Stock in the funds.

To my astonishment I have been told that I cannot dispose of my own...
13To Alexander Hamilton from Otho H. Williams, 29 October 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I took occasion to mention to you while I was absent from my Office, that a necessary attention to my health required my leaving Baltimore for a time. My stay in the Country was attended with so many indications of returning health that I thought the time well spent; and was returning home full of confidence that business would again be a pleasure to me when a very unexpected and violent...

19To Alexander Hamilton from Otho H. Williams, 20 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your favor of the 9th relieved me from some degree of anxiety. I confess that, although I should not have any great objection to its being known that I had presumed to write in defence of the Character of a deceased friend, I would not that my private letter to you on the subject should fall into hands that might magnify my strictures on the conduct of some of the Members of Congress into a...
