4From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Willing, [27 July 1792] (Hamilton Papers)
Mr. Hamilton presents his Compliments to Mr Willing and sends him a letter which came to hand by yesterday’s post for his information. Tis probable, as is not uncommon, when men are in a confessing mood, that more has been confessed, than is true; yet the communication deserves particular attention, as it is certain that the Gang mentioned are the most ingenious set of forgers that perhaps...

9To Thomas Jefferson from William Short, 27 July 1792 (Jefferson Papers)
I had the honor of writing to you by the last post inclosing the gazettes of Leyden to go by the packet, as well also this letter if it arrives in time in London—it contains also two of the same gazettes. That of to day affirms the object of Mr. Jenkinson’s voyage with more positiveness than the general opinion seems to warrant. Whatever may be the future intentions of England, there seems as...
