To Alexander Hamilton from Meletiah Jordan, 27 November 1792

From Meletiah Jordan1

Frenchman’s Bay [District of Maine] November 27, 1792. “… I have also to own receipt of another Thermometer which I am sorry to say has arrived in the same situation as the former.…2 I find that the Letters I receive from your Office are much retarded by being directed to the care of General Lincoln they remain at the Post Office in Boston & never sent to his Office, while they were directed to the care of Robert Haskell3 of Beverly they came regularly to hand.”
