1From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, [1 December 1796] (Hamilton Papers)
I have lately received a line from you. I had been apprised of the machination to cheat us into Mr Burr but I have no apprehension of its success. My chief fear is that the attachment of our Eastern friends to Mr. Adams may prevent their voting for Pinckney likewise, & that some irregularity or accident may deprive us of Adams & let in Jefferson. Judge Tichener in passing through informed me...
2From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 8 November 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
A few days since I wrote you my opinion concerning the good policy of supporting faithfully Pinckney as well as Adams . The following extract of a letter from Mr. Wolcott of the 6th instant serves to confirm it— “The Fœderal Ticket is lost in this State. There are still hopes that Mr. Adams will be elected but nothing more. I hope Mr. Pinckney will be supported as the next best thing which can...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, [6 November 1796] (Hamilton Papers)
I perceive you are an elector. In this state we support unanimously John Adams and Thomas Pinckney; on the principle of taking a double chance against Jefferson , deeming it far more important that be shall not be the President than who of the two men, Adams and Pinckney, shall be the President. The Government and the national interests will be perfectly safe in the hands of either of these...
4From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 29 September 1796 (Hamilton Papers)
Permit me to introduce to your acquaintance and recommend to your Civilities the bearer of this, Mr. Hoffman, our Atty General who goes to Connecticut on the question of the Connecticut Gore. He will wish to engage the assistance of one of your Lawyers; will you assist him with your advice? Yrs. Affectly ALS , Blumhaven Library and Gallery, Philadelphia. Wadsworth, a friend of H for many...
5From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 26 May 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I find on perusing the papers that the account received by letter of a certain transaction was not accurate and though there was a very improper transacti⟨on⟩ several of the suggestions in a paper lately sent you are not correct. If not too late you will forbear to do with it as was intended. Yrs. ALS , Jeremiah Wadsworth Papers, Library of Congress. Letter not found.
6From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 27 April 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
[ Albany, April 27, 1795. On May 31, 1795, Wadsworth wrote to Hamilton : “Your favor of the 27 April came duly to hand.” Letter not found. ]
7From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 4 June 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
A press of business has prevented my replying sooner to your late letter on the subject of certain concerns between Mr. Church & yourself. Your arrangement with Governor Mifflin appears to me in every sense prudent and proper. It certainly will be adviseable by the additional loan you mention to Mr. Seymour to secure the debt he now owes to Mr. Church & yourself by a mortgage if one cannot be...
8From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 3 September 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
Shortly after I came into Office I remember your having told me that Glauback (whom you represented as a worthless and ungrateful fellow) was indebted to General Greenes estate, I think for money lent him, and that it was your intention to endeavour to effect a purchase of his public claim & allowing him some part of it for his immediate ⟨necessities⟩ letting the residue be an indemnifi⟨cation...

10From Alexander Hamilton to Jeremiah Wadsworth, 14 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I sent you some days since the statement of monies received by me on account of Mr Church & shall be glad to know it got safe to hand and has answered your purpose. It was as perfect as I could make it. Yrs truly ALS , Connecticut Historical Society, Hartford. John B. Church, an Englishman who had married Elizabeth Hamilton’s sister Angelica, and Wadsworth had been partners during the American...
