32From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Olney, 14 December 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
I do not think you will be justifiable in making a deduction from the legal rate of duty on Coffee, on account of its being broken, nor on cocoa, because of an inferiority of quality, they being in each instance as I presume the unmixed article, on which the Legislature has imposed an uniform impost, without providing a variation of duty in case of differences of quality. The shells of Coffee...
33From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Olney, 8 January 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your letter relative to the case of the Brig Polly from Cape Francois and Charleston.

It is however my desire that you deposit the same in that institution to be passed to the credit of “the Collector of the district of Providence” and...

38From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Olney, 28 May 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I am to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 10th Instant. Whatever constructions may have been put upon the Act for regulating the coasting trade, it is very certain that the law makes no provision for a second registry in the case as stated by you. It will be a natural conclusion therefore to suppose, that if any Ship or Vessel has been once registered agreeably to the forms...
