I have your Letter of the 28th: I will see the Secy of War this morning, and you may rely upon it, that the movement will be suspended. The true state of things in this city is, that the Treaty was at first unpopular, the expectations of vain sanguine men, who considered this Country as all powerful & intittled to dictate, were not satisfied—every engine of faction was successfully set at...

I have recd. your favour dated the 7: & 8: inst: & shall carefully attend to all your directions. I find that owing to some neglect, your letter to the Bank of New York was not recd. A duplicate which I transmitted produced a cordial & prompt compliance; this accounts for a delay, which at one time I feared was owing to a reluctance to advance the sum requested. It was not intended by me to...

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...
6790To 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....
