From Alexander Hamilton to Jonathan Cass, 18 May 1800

To Jonathan Cass, 18 May 1800

NY. May 18th. 1800

Sir,

As Lieutenant Peyton has made the receipt of four months pay in advance a the condition of his continuance in service I have transmitted his letter to the S of War, and recommended an acceptance of his resignation—It will therefore be necessary for you to send Lieut Climson with the detachment to Pittsburg—

⟨Ma⟩jor Cass—
