May 4, 1788.
My Dear Sir:
I believe I am in your debt a letter or two, which is owing to my
occupation in relation to the elections, &c.
These are now over in this State, but the result is not known. All
depends upon Albany, where both sides claim the victory. Our doubts
will not be removed till the latter end of the month. I hope your
expectations of Virginia have not diminished.
Respecting the first volume of Publius I have executed your commands.
The books have been sent addressed to the care of Governor Randolph.
The second, we are informed, will be out in the course of a week, and
an equal number shall be forwarded. Inclosed is a letter, committed to
my care by Mr. Vanderkemp, which I forward with pleasure.
Believe me, with great attachment,
Yours,
A. Hamilton.
