From Alexander Hamilton to John McClallen, 1 March 1800
To John McClallen, 1 March 1800
NY. Feby. 29th. March 1st. 1800—
Sir,
I have received your letter of the 24th. instant.
The order to you to march to this place was given thro’ mistake—It was my intention that you should continue at Albany for the purpose of recruiting.
Capt McClellen
