2203From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas Willing, 3 March 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
I received your letter of the 28th ultimo, respecting the terms upon which the Directors of the Bank propose to furnish Bills of Exchange on Amsterdam for the use of the Government.

Can’t you send me a copy? I will observe any conditions you annex. The secret Journals & other...
