Alexander Hamilton Papers

From Alexander Hamilton to John Ripley, 18 December 1799

To John Ripley, 18 December 1799

Phia. Der. 18—99

Sir,

I have received your letter of the eighth instant.

You have put an improper erroneous construction upon my words in supposing them intended to convey censure on your conduct.

My design I can assure you was simply to point out the proper channel of communication—

W—

Major Ripley —
