40From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson, 3 June 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
It was not till within an hour, that I received your letter of the 1st with the papers accompanying it. I approve all the drafts of letters, as they stand, except that I have some doubt about the concluding sentence of that on the subject of Henfield .

42VIII. Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson, 13 January 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I thank you for the printed papers you have been so obliging as to send. I cannot forbear a conjecture that the communications of the Chargé des affaires of France are rather expedients to improve a moment, in which it is perceived questions concerning navigation are to be discussed than the effects of serious instructions from his Court. Be this as it may I really have not thought of any...

I have perused with attention your intended report to the President; and will, as I am sure is your wish, give you my opinion with frankness.

But I am not equally well satisfied of the policy of granting it on the ground you...

I have only considered the principal subject of the extracts from Mr. Morris’s letters, which you did me the honor to send me, namely the adjustment or liquidation of the payments to France, and am of Opinion, that the Idea which appears to be that of Mr. Morris is the safest now to be pursued vizt.—to ascertain the rate of exchange between Paris and Amsterdam, at each period of payment, as an...
51III. Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Jefferson, 12 April 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
I have perused the papers communicated to you by the Chargé des Affaires of France. The propositions to which they relate, as far as they are understood, appear to me inadmissible. The only advantage they offer to the United States is a prolongation of the time of reimbursement. The rate of interest is to remain the same, and the place of payment, according to the probable course of exchange,...
