From Alexander Hamilton to Nathan Rice, 11 March 1800

To Nathan Rice

New York March 11th. 1800

Sir

I have received two letters one from Major Lynde1 the other from Lieutt. Lull,2 both requesting leave of absence for a few weeks. All applications of that kind ought to be made through the Commanding Officer of the post where they may be.3 I refer to you the propriety of giving them a furlough which you will do should it not upon enquiry appear to you detrimental to the Service.

with true consideration &

Colonel Rice
