45To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 3 September 1793 (Hamilton Papers)

48To Alexander Hamilton from Oliver Wolcott, Junior, 4 January 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
The question whether Stock standing on the books of the Treasury & the Loan Offices respectively, is liable to attachment, being yet undecided, I judge it necessary to apprise you, that consequences unfavourable to the public Credit, are to be apprehended. The most considerable Credits which have been attached are those standing in the names of John Warder & Co & Donald & Burton; and the...
