11To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 2 July 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I cannot account for your not having Answered the letter of which the preceeding is a Copy, in any other way than by supposing it did not get to your hands, it was written so long since as the 23d of May last & sent by Post, and is of so important a nature that I waited with Anxiety supposing however that the papers were preparing and that you delayed writing untill they were ready. I am...
12To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 9 September 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your favour of the 29th. with the Papers enclosed therewith and should have acknowledged the receipt of them immediately but that I observed you had inserted a larger Sum as the bala. of my Note than I thought could be due thereon & lest you may not have kept a regular acct of the payments I have made on that account I wrote Mr Cottringer to make an extract from My Books & you...
13To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 2 October 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I cannot help feeling some chagrin when I find you constantly treating the debt I owe you as if you were in danger of loosing it, because I wish to stand higher in your confidence than it seems is the case. I have assured you that you should not loose and I am happy to see my way clear to effect the payment pretty soon, perhaps some influen⟨ce o⟩n your part over those who are to pay may ⟨b⟩e...
14To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 27 October 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
In my last letter to you I said I saw the means of discharging my debt to you in consequence of the purchase made of the Indians and that your influence might be usefull in the recovery of the money, it is thus; Doctor Craigie in Co with Watson & Greenleaf purchased of Mr Saml. Ogden with my consent 100000 acres of Genesee land for which they paid, except $12500 Watson and Greenleaf were half...
15To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 1 November 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I wrote to you some days ago, but have not yet heard in reply. I take the liberty to enclose herein a letter for Mr. Church and to ask your interference. If it is only his Money that he is Seeking I will get it for him, and I would fain hope that he does not wish to take advantage of my Necessities and obtain my property at less than its worth. I am willing to Sell it at a fair price to him if...
16Enclosure: Robert Morris to John B. Church, 1 November 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I informed you some time since that I was in Treaty for money to pay the interest due to you, it so happened that I could not bring the agreement to a close before the Citizens of Philadelphia began to disperse on account of the Yellow fever, and since they did so, it has been next to impossible to get any business done. They are now returning to their homes and I shall renew my negotiations...

18To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 23 November 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I have this minute received your favour of the 20th inst. and sit down immediately to acknowledge my fear that the mistake respecting Doctr Cragies Bond is with me, I am seperated from the Bulk of my Papers and when I wrote you respecting it I had only his letter agreeing for the purchase of the Land and terms of payment, not hearing from you I sent to Town a few days ago for the Bond...
19To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 21 December 1797 (Hamilton Papers)
I have this day been informed that an attachment has been laid by your order in the Name of Mr Church, in the hands of Messrs Le Roy Bayard & McEvers, what this is for or why it is done I cannot conceive; your agency in its astonishes me, if it is for the balance of the Money you lent me , I shall deem my self more unfortunate than ever (altho sufficiently so before) to have such measures...
20To Alexander Hamilton from Robert Morris, 17 January 1798 (Hamilton Papers)
I have been a long time possessed of your letter of the 26 Decemr without replying, which has been Occasioned by my waiting to hear from my Son Thomas whether he had made any arrangement for paying the debt I owe you. It seems he wrote to me at New York on the 4th. inst but his Servant instead of putting the letter in the Post Office, put it with some others into his Trunk and took it to...
