51To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 28 May 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your kind letter of the 23d, I did not receive till after the last post for the week was gone out; I have seen Mr. Cutting and informed him I was ready to pay the judgement against the Baron. He said he would make out the Account & call upon me. The amount will be upwards of £500. As our Bank Stock is now only at 28 ⅌ Cent premium I think it will be better to have the Note of 1200 Dollars you...

Not wishing to infringe upon one moment of your time during the arduous & busy scene you have been engaged in, I have till now delayed my communications respecting my operations for Mr. Church.

53To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 20 December 1792 (Hamilton Papers)

54To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 11 April 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I find upon enquiry from those who are most conversant in the nature and extent of the Stock Contracts, that Monday the 15th of this month is the day which will probably produce the greatest distress, of course the day on which relief will be the most essential. What is called here the Company, of which Mr Macomb is the ostensible person, have on that day to take Stock or pay differences on...
55To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 12 September 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
I had the pleasure to receive your Letter of the 7th by Mr. Eddie on fryday morning, but not early enough to answer you with propriety by that post. The bearer of the Letter I apprehend knew or conjectured at the Contents as it flew over the Town like Wildfire that I had orders to purchase, therefore before I got to the Coffee House at Noon, every one was prepared, and no one would offer to...

It is with reluctance I intrude upon your time, but I feel so interested in what has lately passed at Phia. that I cannot refrain indulging myself with some conversation with you on the subject.
