Albany, August 25, 1782.
Sir:
This letter serves only to transmit the two last papers. I wish the
measures I have taken to satisfy you on the points you desire to be
informed of, had been attended with so much success as to enable me
now to transmit the result. But I find a singular confusion in the
accounts kept by the public officers from whom I must necessarily
derive my information, and a singular dilatoriness in complying with
my application, partly from indolence, and partly from jealousy of the
office. I hope, by the next post, to transmit you information on some
particulars.
I have the honor to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
A. Hamilton.
To Robert Morris, Esq.
