Gentlemen
Since mine to you of the 22d. I have reason to believe that the information which gave occasion to that letter was a misapprehension of the party from whom I received it; but whose general accuracy left me no suspicion of such a possibility at the time. I hasten to give this intimation, that no inconveniences may ensue from my first communication.
With perfect esteem I have the honor to be Gentlemen Your obed servant
A Hamilton
The Honorable Mr. Bourne
The Attorney of the District
The Supervisor of the Revenue
The Collector of Providence
