4191From Alexander Hamilton to Jedediah Huntington, 21 November 1791 (Hamilton Papers)

It is the duty of the Collectors of the several districts to pay attention to all vessels arriving within the same by whatever cause they may be led thither. If forty eight hours are likely to elapse after the...

4198From Alexander Hamilton to Jedediah Huntington, 22 November 1791 (Hamilton Papers)
I do not think, it will be necessary to require a refund from the officers of the revenue cutter in consequence of the payments to them at eleven cents per ration, as mentioned in your letter of the 10th. October. It is very much my wish that the article of rum may be as sparingly supplied as possible. Country rum at half a jill per man per day is, as I understand, as large an allowance as is...
