6From Alexander Hamilton to Robert Troup, [20 June 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
Your letters of the 15 & 18 of June have been received. The ideas you express in the former appear to me just. But I hope to God you have been able to find the means of instituting prosecutions before this, against the Offenders. The ferment you mention to have been excited is an additional reason for it.

10From Alexander Hamilton to Robert Troup, 25 July 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
