21To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 7 August 1799 (Hamilton Papers)
From what has passed between Mr. McHenry & your self and the agents of the War Department at Rhode Island, respecting the establishment of a Hospital there, I perceive that there exists a misapprehension which so far as it affects me, I am desirous of explaining. The Act of July 16th. 1798 for the relief of sick and disabled seamen, imposes a Tax on Seamens wages, which is to be applied 1st....
22To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 7 July 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I have before me your favour of the 1st. instant. I have some knowledge of the circumstance referred to in Genl. Schuylers Letter. It is a fact that Mr. Shoemaker has either seen such a Letter from Mr. Jefferson as is described, or recd. such evidence that a Letter of the kind existed, as made a strong impression on his Mind. It has I know been proposed to make application to Mr. Smith’s son...
23To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 3 September 1800 (Hamilton Papers)

25To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 2 October 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I wrote you a hasty Letter yesterday in which I returned the draught which accompanied your favour of September 26th.

26To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 25 December 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I have recd. your favours of the 16th. & 17th. —that of the 16th I communicated to Mr. Marshall & Mr. Sedgwick; the first has yet expressed no ⟨op⟩inion; the last mentioned Gentleman has been inclined to support Mr. Burr & this I find appears to be a prevailing & increasing sentiment of the Federalists—with what degree of seriousness the intention is formed & whether it can succeed are...
