Alexander Hamilton Papers

From Alexander Hamilton to John G. Coffin, 18 February 1800

To John G. Coffin, 18 February 1800

New York Febr. 18. 1800—

Sir,

I have received your letter of January 24th and in consequence of your misfortune your furlough is extended untill the last day of March next. A delay of a General arrangement by the Secretary of War which would have embraced your claim prevents me from a compliance with your wishes as to your accounts.

with true consideration I am Sir—

John G. Coffin
