111To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 26 September 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have recd. you Letter of the 20th. and regret the cause which deprived me of the pleasure of seeing you. Nothing is known of the authors to which you allude. The “Features of the Treaty” were doubtless painted by Dallas. Doctrs. Logan & Leib, Bache, Beckley, T. L. Shippen, are much suspected —S. Sayre of New Jersey is I understand very violent—perhaps the avowed intemperance of these men...

He is what I recommended him for, a proper person to copy and assist a man who has much business—but I do not think it probable that he could perform more than what is commonly expected of a...
115To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 3 September 1800 (Hamilton Papers)
I am favoured with your Letters of the 3d. & 19th. instant. You will have thought it strange that the first has not been acknwledged—it has been out of my power: the effects of a new Climate want of exercise and too much application to official business, produced a serious indisposition, which disabled me from writing for a forth-night; I am now recovering, though I remain weak. I had...
116To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 18 May 1798 (Hamilton Papers)
You may render great service by corresponding occasionally with your acquaintances in Congress, prompting them to vigorous measures, & dispelling whims & hysterics. Mr. Lawrence & Mr. Bingham have frequently created much embarrassment—The former is now firm—the latter troublesome —both want stimulants occasionally. No person here can say anything to them with advantage. Congress appears to be...
