From Alexander Hamilton to Richard Harison, [2 June 1792]
To Richard Harison1
[Philadelphia, June 2, 1792]
My Dear Sir
The Patents to the Ohio Company, in conformity to the Act,2 were issued before the President went to Mount Vernon. I hope no inconvenience will have ensued. Mr. King having written to me on the same subject, I have sent him a rough sketch of the exterior line of the whole tract granted by the several Patents.
Yrs. sincerely
A Hamilton
