From Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Schuyler, 31 July 1780

To Elizabeth Schuyler

Robinson’s Farm1[New York]
July 31st. 1780

I have received the stocks and thank my dearest for her kind attention.

AL[S], Mr. George T. Bowdoin, New York City.

1Home of Beverley Robinson, a Tory. This house was located on the east bank of the Hudson, approximately two miles southeast of West Point.
