To Alexander Hamilton from George Washington, [9 July 1794]
From George Washington
[Philadelphia, July 9, 1794]
Sir,
Your letter of yesterday was handed to me this day. As delay under present circumstances may attend the negotiation of a Loan in Holland by our Minister Resident there, for the purpose of the Algierine business,1 it appears to me expedient to send a power to our Commissioners at Amsterdam for that purpose.
Philada. 9 July 1794.
Go. Washington.
