2Henry Brewerton was a New York City lawyer. For his earlier services on Le Guen’s behalf, see H to Ezra L’Hommedieu, April 4, 1799, note 3.

5An entry in H’s Cash Book, 1795–1804, under the date of June 7, 1802, reads: “Interest &c (L L Guen) 427.72” (AD, Hamilton Papers, Library of Congress).

6Although Le Guen originally intended to place ten thousand dollars at Nathaniel Prime’s disposal for investment (Le Guen to H, January 15, 1801), this figure, as the document printed above indicates, was subsequently reduced to seven thousand dollars. See also “Description of Account with Louis Le Guen,” June 8, 1802. In addition, the document printed above indicates that H had loaned the remaining three thousand dollars to John Laurance.

7Laurance, a veteran of the American Revolution and one of H’s closest friends, was a delegate to the Continental Congress from 1785 to 1787, a member of the House of Representatives from 1789 to 1793, United States judge for the District of New York from 1794 to 1796, and a member of the United States Senate from 1796 until his resignation in August, 1800.

9At the bottom of this document is a receipt in H’s handwriting for $424.72, dated June 7, 1802, which Louis Le Guen signed.
