Fort Jay February 11th 1799—

Sir

On Friday noon (8th. Inst.) I received your note of the 6th.

This is the sixteenth day since my arrest, which confines me to the Island and as it yet remains uncertain when a Court can be convened; I request the limits of my confinement may be extended to the City.

Should there be no impropriety in this request being granted I beg Sir you will give me the indulgence

I am Sir respectfully Yr Obedt Hble. Servt.

Sam. Osborn

Genl. Alexander Hamilton New York
