2To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 11 April 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I find upon enquiry from those who are most conversant in the nature and extent of the Stock Contracts, that Monday the 15th of this month is the day which will probably produce the greatest distress, of course the day on which relief will be the most essential. What is called here the Company, of which Mr Macomb is the ostensible person, have on that day to take Stock or pay differences on...
3To Thomas Jefferson from Elias Boudinot, [11 April 1792] (Jefferson Papers)
Mr. Boudinot encloses a very rough draught of a Letter to Mr. Jefferson in answer to his Note, merely to know if the Substance of it, will answer any valuable End. If it should not, the Copies of the Testimony may be obtained from Judge Chetwood of Elizabeth Town.—If the Letter will answer, Mr. Boudinot will copy it and sign it, and return it to Mr. Jefferson. The other delegates from New...
4To Thomas Jefferson from the Commissioners of the Federal District, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
We now send you the Warrants executed on our part; by our counting, there are 519. which you will be pleased to notice. By the rigour of this Loan the whole number of Lots, remain in Mortgage till the intire payment. It is desirable if it can, as we suppose, be changed without inconvenience, so far as that on payment of every 200 Dollars, one lot should be released from the incumbrance: by...
5To Thomas Jefferson from James Monroe, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Be so kind as inform me whether in consequence of our conversation respecting the nominations for command of, and inferior appointments in the army, there is any executive calculation on my conduct. An opposition will probably be made to the Commander, but most certainly if there is in the most distant degree, I shall not join in it, especially as tis possible (as it has been hinted by King...
6To Thomas Jefferson from Daniel L. Hylton, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I wou’d have wrote you before this, but have been waiting on Mr. Banks who had kept me in a state of suspence until yesterday respecting the sale of your land at Elkhill, and have now got his final answer. The highest he offers is £1500 payable agreeable to your advertisement in four instalments. You will therefore on the receipt of this say if this price meets your approbation, as he informs...
7To Thomas Jefferson from Henry Remsen, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
When I returned here the last time from Philadelphia I heard there was a pamphlet handed about in private circles, wherein you was spoken of with great indecency; and I made many attempts to see it, and to procure a copy to send to you, but in vain. I have just now been able to obtain it, and I take the liberty to enclose it. The difficulties among those who dealt in stocks, or endorsed notes...
8To Thomas Jefferson from Elias Boudinot, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
Having been accidentally present at the Examination of the Witnesses against John Smith Hatfield, taken before the proper Magistrate in New Jersey, on a Habeas Corpus brought by Hatfield to obtain an order for Bail or discharge, I have taken the liberty to give the Substance of the Testimony.

9To Thomas Jefferson from George Hammond, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have received by a circular dispatch from my Court, directions to inform this government that, considerable inconvenience having arisen from the importation of Tobacco in foreign vessels into the Ports of his Majesty’s dominions, contrary to the Act of the 12th Charles 2d. Chap. 18. Sect. 3d. (commonly called the Navigation Act) it has been determined in future strictly to inforce this...
10To Thomas Jefferson from Thomas Johnson, 11 April 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I have taken so much of my time since I have been here as the Weather and my Strength would well permit to examine the Ground in the Water level Line from the Canal at the Little Falls to George Town.—I have seen all that is said to be any way difficult in it and I think there are no fifty perches in it which may not certainly be effected for sixteen Dollars a perch in any one Place. In...
