From Alexander Hamilton to John Adlum, 21 September 1799

To John Adlum, 21 September 1799

New york Sepr. 21st. 1799

Sir,

I do not think it advisable to grant your request for a furlough without previously consulting Col. Ogden on the subject. I have accordingly communicated the request to that officer with the proper directions.

With consideration I am, Sir yr. ob. sert.

A Hamilton

Major Adlum—
