To William Seton

Treasury Department

Sir

The duplicate return of your last purchases has come to hand.1

The Commissioner of loans2 might have issued the requisite Certificate in order to a Transfer to the books of the Treasury, upon the strength of your original Agency; especially as the Transfer was to be in the same names.

But as a different idea has struck him I have written to him the enclosed3 to obviate difficulty.

With very great consideration   I remain   Sir   Your obedient servt

A Hamilton

William Seton Esqr.
