1From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Bourne, William Channing, John S. Dexter, and Jeremiah Olney, 22 October 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
A report has reached this place, through a channel so respectable as to claim notice, that the affairs of the Bank of Providence are in considerable disorder. On this occasion I take the liberty to commit to your care the interests of the United States and to request your aid. It is probably known to all of you that the Bank of Providence has been made a place of deposit for all the public...
2From Alexander Hamilton to Benjamin Bourne, William Channing, John S. Dexter, and Jeremiah Olney, 25 October 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Since mine to you of the 22d. I have reason to believe that the information which gave occasion to that letter was a misapprehension of the party from whom I received it; but whose general accuracy left me no suspicion of such a possibility at the time. I hasten to give this intimation, that no inconveniences may ensue from my first communication. With perfect esteem I have the honor to be ...
3From Alexander Hamilton to William Channing, Jeremiah Olney, and John S. Dexter, 12 December 1792 (Hamilton Papers)

5From Thomas Jefferson to William Channing, 14 August 1791 (Jefferson Papers)
Your favor of July 27. came to my hands on the 7th. inst. only.

6From Thomas Jefferson to William Channing, 26 August 1793 (Jefferson Papers)
I inclose you copies of two letters from Judge Marchant to the President of the United States, and of sundry depositions taken by him, from which there is reason to believe that the Marshal of that district has been guilty of a very unjustifiable negligence, if not a connivance, in suffering the escape of a certain William James Davis, against whom he was charged with criminal process. It is...
