I will thank you in your letter to me to answer the following question:

What appeared to be my ideas and disposition respecting the removal of

Congress? Did I appear to wish to hasten it, or did I not rather show a

strong disposition to procrastinate it?

I will be obliged to you in answering this question to do it fully. I

do not intend to make any public use of it, but through my friends to

vindicate myself from the insinuation I have mentioned, and in that

to confute the supposition that the motive assigned did actuate the

members on whom it fell to be more particularly active.

Yours,

A. Hamilton.
