I am favored with yours of the 15th June, with a Copy of the Account which accompanied your report, of the same date, to the President.

31715From Alexander Hamilton to Andrew G. Fraunces, 2 July 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
I received your application of yesterday, respecting two warrants drawn by the late Board of Treasury.

31719To Alexander Hamilton from Jeremiah Olney, 3 July 1793 (Hamilton Papers)
I am obliged by your reply to my Questions relative to the SeaLetters; but if the blank in the English translation of the Certificate is filled to correspond with the Dutch Original, as you direct, it will read very awkwardly—thus “We Samuel Cha⟨rles⟩ Esquire, make known, that the master of John Thomas of Providence , appearing before us, has declared upon oath, that the Vessel, called the...
31720Pacificus No. II, [3 July 1793] (Hamilton Papers)
