From Alexander Hamilton to ———, [12 September 1778]

To ———

[White Plains, New York, September 12, 1778]

Sir,

Mr. Chouin the French Gentleman who lives at Head Quarters informs he has heard you had a bear-skin, which you would part with; and requests me to inquire if it is so. I told him I thought it very improbable you should have any but what you wanted for your own use; but for his satisfaction would inquire how the matter stands.

I am Sir   Yr most Obed ser

A Hamilton

Sepr. 12th.
