1To Alexander Hamilton from Otho H. Williams, 8 February 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your letter of the 2d Instant commiting to me the direction of the future movements of the Revenue Cutter; But you have not yet informed me how the hands ⟨are to⟩ be subsisted. I think that it would be cheapest and best to supply them as on board merchantmen. Any bargain with the Captain might be the cause of discontent among the crew, and to draw rations on shore would be...

Inclosed is a list of bonds taken for duties on Merchze pts. of the payments whereof have been postponed, according to law, upon the Merchandize being exported for drawbacks. The certificates of the landing of these goods in foreign ports are not yet returned, and the bonds ought to be put in suit; but as the ⟨–⟩ Sales of part of them at foreign markets have come to hand and I have good...

6To Alexander Hamilton from Otho H. Williams, 5 April 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your official letter respecting the punctual collecting of duties shall have my particular attention. The advantages expected from your eventual agreement with the bank of Maryland have not been realized by the merchants, owing I understand, to some want of concert among the directors; But I have reason to expect that all will be settled this Week. I am much gratified by your intimation that...

12To Alexander Hamilton from Otho H. Williams, 20 June 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
Your favor of the 9th relieved me from some degree of anxiety. I confess that, although I should not have any great objection to its being known that I had presumed to write in defence of the Character of a deceased friend, I would not that my private letter to you on the subject should fall into hands that might magnify my strictures on the conduct of some of the Members of Congress into a...
