2From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, 27 November 1789 (Hamilton Papers)
[ New York ] November 27, 1789 . “With regard to feeling the public pulse about the debt I have several times had an inclination to the measure; but this inclination has given place to the reflection, that bringing on a discussion might be as likely to fix prejudices as to produce good, and that it may be safest to trust to the effect of the Legislative sanction to good measures, and to the...
3From Alexander Hamilton to Thomas FitzSimons, [1 September 1790] (Hamilton Papers)
I thank you very much, for the trouble you have been so obliging as to take, towards procuring a house for me.

7From Thomas Jefferson to Thomas FitzSimons, 14 November 1792 (Jefferson Papers)

Seeing the Debates on the subject of Democratic Societies I called at your house to state some facts.
