To Arthur St. Clair1

[Philadelphia, September 21, 1792. On December 5, 1792, St. Clair wrote to Hamilton: “Your letter of the 21st. Septr. enclosing a Copy of an Order of the Senate relative to the Salaries fees and emoluments of Persons holding Offices under the united States2 … came to hand a few days ago.” Letter not found.]

1. St. Clair was governor of the Northwest Territory.

2. Although H’s letter of September 210, 1792, to St. Clair has not been found, St. Clair’s reply indicates that its contents were similar to “Treasury Department Circular,” September 13, 1792.
