To HIS EXcELLENcY. GOV kossCTH:-
SIR: In accordance with my promise, | now
take the liberty to recommend, for your perusal,
the works OF Hamilton, inasmuch as they will pre-
sent to your grasping mind, the best evidence o
the master influence, which has, thus far, guided
the destnies OF the nited states, in their career
to distinction.
IN the sixth volume Of the works, you will find
the history Of the Proclamation OF Neutrality, and
learn that the Of Jefisrson, attached TO that
document, was only 50 done autnonticating
mark Of official formality. AMI, referring TO the
torious fact that the and its policy did

confidential correspondence OF Hamilton with all
the distinguished statesmen Of tae period, cud es-
