71From Alexander Hamilton to Tench Coxe, 27 January 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
It is my opinion that the rule which has been adopted with regard to arrears of duty in the western survey of Pennsylvania may be extended to Kentucky. It ought to be the subject of a confidential communication to the Supervisor —leaving him at liberty however to apply or limit the extent of the rule according to local circumstances and the past course of the business. I am with great...

I send you copy of a letter from the Attorney General of the 17 instant. I agree in opinion with that officer, that it is adviseable to cause two suits to be brought one in the circuit Court another in the State Court. The one in the Circuit Court ought to be Debt for the tax exclusive of the penalty and it ought to be in a sum of two thousand Dollars for an equivalent number of Carriages....

77From Alexander Hamilton to Tench Coxe, 30 May 1796 (Hamilton Papers)

In carrying this idea into execution, I presume it is well understood that the drawing must be confined to the...

Is it where the Patents were originally to Aliens? —or does it...

80From Alexander Hamilton to Tench Coxe, [23 August 1797] (Hamilton Papers)
I enclose you a letter from Mr Church. I must add to it my earnest request that you will exert yourself to complete the business which is the subject of it. The punctuality of his temper occasions to me no small embarrassment in reference to a delay which appears to him extraordinary.
