33To Alexander Hamilton from Thomas Jefferson, 26 January 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
It is perfectly equal to me that the 1233⅓ dollars mentioned in your letter of yesterday, be taken out of the 40,000 Dollars now desired, or not. You will observe that the two sums of 40,000 D. each are for the interval between July 1. 1790. & July 1. 1792. and that the act is to continue, even if not renewed, till the end of the next session of Congress, probably the beginning of March 1793....

36From Thomas Jefferson to Alexander Hamilton, 9 [July] 1790 (Jefferson Papers)
You were so kind as to say you would write to our bankers in Holland to answer my draught for a part of the balance due me for salary &c. I suppose in fact it will be necessary to clear their minds on the subject, for tho’ they know that the diplomatic expences in Europe were paid on the funds in their hands, yet as I am here they will naturally expect your instructions should accompany my...

Your favour of the 8th. inst. could only be recieved on my return here, and I have this morning been considering of it’s contents.

40To Alexander Hamilton from Thomas Jefferson, 13 October 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
In pursuance of powers which mr Short had confided to me, and urged by the circumstances of the moment, I thought it expedient to desire on the 19th. of April last that no transfer might be permitted of any stock standing in his own name or in the name of any other for his use.
