I have the honor to reply to your Letter of the 29th. of May, on the subject of the million of dollars granted by the Act of the 20 of March last.

I therefore send here with the draft of a power for making the loan...

Upon receipt of the communication to you from the Governor of Pennsylvania of the 18 of April last, I put that letter and the papers attending it into the hands of the Commissioner of the Revenue to examine into the suggestions made & report to me concerning them.

364From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 9 June 1794 (Hamilton Papers)
I have the honor to send here with sundry papers which relate to the Petition of William Martin & contain full information on the subject.

With perfect respect &c. LC , George Washington Papers, Library of...

I have the honor of submitting herewith to the President the draft of a power to borrow One million of dollars, by virtue of the Act passed the 9 instant, intitled “an Act making appropriations for certain purposes therein expressed.” I need only observe, as to the necessity of making the loan, that the objects for which the Act provides will call for immediate expenditures and that the funds...

369From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, [14 June 1794] (Hamilton Papers)
The Secretary of the Treasury presents his respects to the President. He had thought that the appointment of a Supervisor for Pennsylvania might without inconvenience be deferred ’till the return of the President, & therefore deferred mentioning it. But on more particular reflection as a new revenue year commences with the first of July, he believes it would be of use to accelerate the...
