121To George Washington from Alexander Hamilton, 19 November 1795 (Washington Papers)
Your letters of the 16 and 18 instant with their inclosures are received. An extraordinary pressure of profession[al] business has delayed my reply on the subject of Young La Fayette; in which another cause cooperated—I wished without unvieling the motives incidentally to sound the impressions of other persons of Judgment who I knew had been apprised of his being in the Country. The byass of...
122From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 5 November 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I received on the second instant your two letters of the 29th. of October with the inclosures. An answer has been delayed to ascertain the disposition of Mr. King, who through the summer has resided in the country and is only occasionally in Town. I am now able to inform you— he would not accept . Circumstances of the moment conspire with the disgust which a virtuous and independent mind feels...

124From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 26 October 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I have noticed a piece in the Aurora under the signature of the Calm Observer which I think requires explanation and I mean to give one with my name. I have written to Mr. Wolcott for materials from the Books of the Treasury. Should you think it proper to meet the vile insinuation in the close of it by furnishing for one year the account of expenditure of the salary, I will with pleasure add...

126From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 16 October 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
About a fortnight since arrived here Mr. Fristel with G W. Fayette son of the Marquis. The former, who is in capacity of Tutor to the latter, requested me to mention their arrival to you, and that they meant to retire to some place in the neighbouring country ’till they should receive some direction from you. Thus at least I understood him—and accordingly they are gone to a house between...

128From Alexander Hamilton to George Washington, 4 September 1795 (Hamilton Papers)
I had the pleasure of receiving two days since your letter of the 31 Ulto. A great press of business and an indifferent state of health have put it out of my power sooner to attend to it.

They render indispensable a very serious though calm and measured remonstrance from this Government, carrying among others...
