2From Alexander Hamilton to Jedediah Huntington, 24 November 1789 (Hamilton Papers)
I acknowledge the receipt of your’s of the 11th. instant. The privileges allowed to Vessels under twenty Tons appear to me in the same light in which they do to you. I should be obliged by your ideas of the most proper arrangement with regard to that description of Vessels; as the thing is perhaps not without difficulties. I have no doubt that the Importer must make entry, as well with regard...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Jedediah Huntington, 21 November 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
From some inadvertence your letter, relative to vessels which put into the district of Newport, was placed among the answered letters, and has therefore lain without due attention. It is the duty of the Collectors of the several districts to pay attention to all vessels arriving within the same by whatever cause they may be led thither.

7From Alexander Hamilton to Jedediah Huntington, 17 November 1789 (Hamilton Papers)
I perceive by your Letter of the 4th instant that I misapprehended you in respect to the question referred to in Your Letter of the 26th of September. I thought it related to the going from one port to another to deliver the inward Cargo which certainly cannot be done without previously paying or securing the Duties at the first port. But there is clearly no color for the idea that foreign...

I have received your letter of the 3d. instant together with the contract for supplying the light house therein enclosed. I fear it will be difficult for the President to form an opinion of this agreement for want of the particulars. The quantities and prices of the requisite articles would afford better ground on which to judge; and I therefore request that you will endeavour to have the...
