2From Alexander Hamilton to William Seton, 10 February 179[2] (Hamilton Papers)
I have received your letter of the 6th instant. The full and confidential communication you make is equally acceptable and necessary. I sincerely hope the Petitioners for a New Bank may be frustrated; but I fear more than I hope. General Schuyler will do every thing in his power against them. Every day unfolds the mischievous tendency of this mad scheme. The enemies to Banks & Credit are in a...
3From Alexander Hamilton to William Seton, 19 March 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
It is strongly represented here, that you have restricted your operations so as absolutely to afford no accommodation in the present distress of the City. Knowing the disposition of the Directors, I am persuaded, that every thing is done which is prudent. And I dare say, there is much exaggeration. This is therefore barely to observe, That as far as you may have been influenced by any...

If six per Cents should sink below par, you may purchase on account of the United States at par to the extent of Fifty thousand Dollars. You will not however declare on whose account you act, because tho there is, as to a purchase on that principle, no difference of opinion among the Trustees, the thing is not formally aranged and this is Sunday. It will be very probably conjectured that you...

8From Alexander Hamilton to William Seton, 4 April 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
The post of this day brought me a letter from you. I am pained, beyond expression, at the picture you and others give me of the situation of my fellow Citizens—especially as an ignorance of the extent of the disorder renders it impossible to judge whether any adequate remedy can be applied. You may apply another 50 000 Dollars to purchases at such time as you judge it can be rendered most...
9From Alexander Hamilton to William Seton, 12 April 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I have your letters of the 10th & 11th and more to my distress than surprise I learn by other letters a confirmation of what you apprehended namely Mr. Macombs failure.

You must judge of the best mode &...

12From Alexander Hamilton to William Seton, 10 May 1792 (Hamilton Papers)
I received your letter of the 7th instant, covering an account of Stock purchased by you for the United States. I observe that you have exceeded the sum which was limitted by me to the amount of one thousand and ninety eight Dollars, eighty nine Cents. But so small a difference is not very material, and I am willing that the whole should remain on account of the United States. In order to a...

The Society for establishing useful manufactures, at their last meeting, resolved to borrow a sum of 5000 Dollars upon a pledge of deferred Stock. Mr. Walker is impowered to negotiate the loan and I expect application will be made to the Bank of New York for it.
