51To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 28 May 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your kind letter of the 23d, I did not receive till after the last post for the week was gone out; I have seen Mr. Cutting and informed him I was ready to pay the judgement against the Baron. He said he would make out the Account & call upon me. The amount will be upwards of £500. As our Bank Stock is now only at 28 ⅌ Cent premium I think it will be better to have the Note of 1200 Dollars you...
52To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 3 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letters of the 24th & 30th. May agreably to the request contained in the former Messrs. Beach & Canfield of Newark have been paid the sum of four thousand three hundred and fifty Dollars, for which you have their receipt enclosed. The further payments shall be made to them as you desire upon the Certificates of Mr. Melancton Smith for the...
53To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 11 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I now enclose you the Bond of Baron Steuben which I took up from Mr. Cutting with his receipt for £506.13 which I paid him. I wished him to be more particular in the receipt, but he said you had already been informed of all the items that composed the Sum. Bank Stock still keeps from 26 to 28 ⅌ Cent and therefore have not sold yours, as I am convinced it must rise, at least it ought to rise if...
54To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 25 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have made a long delay in answering your favours of the 12th & 19th. owing to not being able to meet with Col. Walker to settle the Bill for 300 Dollars. He has just sent me word that he will call up & pay it tomorrow. The amount will then be past to your Credit in Bank. I shall watch a favorable opportunity for the disposal of your Stock —at present it does not go beyond 27 or 28 ⅌ Cent...
55To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 23 July 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I would not give an earlier reply to your favour of the 17th. till I should have seen the Partys you mention. I have had an interview with Mr. Greene & Mr. Pollock, and the latter I think has with great readiness & propriety met your wishes on the subject. (I say wishes because I offered neither interferance or even recommendation on your part). He has consented to stay suit against Mr. Greene...
56To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 3 August 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I am honoured with a letter from your Department of the 1st, inst. respecting the payments that have been made thro’ this Institution by your desire to Messrs. Beach & Canfield —the only sums paid to them were 4350 Dollars on the 29th May & 3630 92/100 on the 29th. June Agreeably to your desire no further payments shall be made to them till I receive your special Direction. I have the honour...
57To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 6 August 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Shortly after I received your kind Letter of the 25th: I found by a Letter from your department you was gone to make a tour in Jersey therefore delayed answering it. You will observe by the annexed Return that the Collector has begun to comply with your kind orders —& it will be a very pleasant Circumstance that he continues to do so—for the Branch is certainly now getting on very fast, & I...
58To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 30 August 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your last Letters were delivered to me just at the Moment of severe affliction. I have not been able to look over them till now which I know your feeling Heart will excuse and lament with me the occasion. The Letter for St. Vincents was forwarded by a Vessell that sailed on Sunday. I could not find any Person that knew Mr. Donald. My Son made particular enquirys from the Merchants here...
59To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 26 October 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Agreably to your desire I now enclose Copies of all the Letters I received from you respecting the purchase of Public Debt. I hope no disagreable event has occurred to cause a review of what was so eminently beneficial to the Community at large. The present high rate of Exchange & the over great Importations from Europe, I fear will soon begin to drain the Banks of Specie—unless the price of...
60To Alexander Hamilton from William Seton, 20 December 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
It is a long while since I have had the pleasure of a confidential intercourse with you. I forwarded all the Copies of the Letters that past between us upon the subject of the purchase of Stocks; since which I received a few lines from you covering a letter to forward by the last Packet, but no dispatches for the Minister: my friend in London writes me that the first Pacquet had come to hand...
