From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 5 May 1794

To George Washington

Treasury Dept. May 5. 1794.

Sir,

It appears to be the desire of the writers of the enclosed Letter, that it should be laid before you, for your direction, which I accordingly do.1 I think the Embargo will operate upon the case, notwithstanding the ultimate destination of the vessel.

With perfect respect &c.

A Hamilton

LC, George Washington Papers, Library of Congress.

1. The enclosed letter was probably that of Reed and Forde to H, April 29, 1794.
