From Alexander Hamilton to Elisha Boudinot, 30 July 1792

To Elisha Boudinot

[Philadelphia] 30th July, 1792.

Dear Sir:

I expected to have set out to-day to join the Committee to-morrow at Newark, but it is not possible.1 To-morrow morning I shall embark in the Early Stage, and hope to reach you in the afternoon; but I pray that no business may be deferred on my account.

Truly yours,

Alexr. Hamilton.
