I am Sir Your obedient Servant L[S] , RG 36, Collector of Customs at Boston, Letters from the Treasury, 1790–1810, Vol. 2, National Archives. Samuel...

53From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Lincoln, 18 October 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
The post of this day brought me your letter of the 7th instant. I am pained that my having desired a second return of your purchases of the public debt should have caused you uneasiness. Be assured that an idea of inattention on your part had no share in producing that request. Your first statement with the vouchers was handed over to the Auditor, and was not particularly in my mind, when I...

55From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Lincoln, 7 June 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
Before the receipt of your letter of the 25th. of May the question concerning the true intent and meaning of the Act to amend and explain the last impost law, relative to printed, stained, and coloured goods had arisen from another quarter. In determining the articles to which the amendatory act will apply the defect alledged to exist in the original law seems proper to be had fully in view....

Inclosed are copies of two letters, one Circular to the several Collectors of your State, yourself excepted; the other to the Directors of the Bank of Massachusetts. You will perceive the intimation I have given respecting yourself.

57From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Lincoln, 17 November 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
Your letter of the 2nd instant has been duly received. You were perfectly right in charging the Schooner Industry with the rate of foreign Tonnage. As the fact stands, it does not appear that the law authorises a restitution; and the parties, in pursuing a second voyage without a Register, after having been once indulged, and admonished, and after sufficient time and opportunity were given...
58From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Lincoln, 4 February 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received the report of the Collector, Naval Officer and Surveyor of the Port of Boston & Charlestown. As some little delay may attend the process of obtaining relief, I would advise that the Vessel and Cargo be released, upon competent Security being given to pay their value, in case the forfeiture be not remitted. I am, Sir L[S] , RG 36, Collector of Customs at Boston, Letters from the...
