Alexander Hamilton Papers

From Alexander Hamilton to John Chaloner, [26 November 1788]

To John Chaloner

[New York, November 26, 1788]

Sir

Hurry of business has prevented my complying with the desire of your letter of the 20th. Ulto1 respecting the arrangement you have entered into with Daniel Parker & Co. &c. 2 Inclosed I send you a power of su[b]stitution which I hope will arrive in time.3 ⟨With all⟩ the ⟨–⟩ circumstances considered what has been done is prudent so as it does not affect any collateral security which I presume has been attended to.

Yrs

A Hamilton

Nov. 26th.
