26360From Alexander Hamilton to Major Sebastian Bauman, [13 April 1781] (Hamilton Papers)
I received your note concerning Mr. Garanger. I am no further interested for him than as a stranger who has taken a great deal of pains to render himself useful & who appears to me to understand what he professes.
