1To Alexander Hamilton from George Clymer, [4 October 1792] (Hamilton Papers)
Not one of the expectations mine by last post might have raised has been realised. Cannon undoubtedly fell into bad hands for ’tho he still avows to me his disapprobation of the Proceedings of the 21 August into which he was as he says unwarily drawn, no publick recantation has come from him.
