About This Book

The collection assembles correspondence, political and official writings, and administrative records, bringing together personal letters, logistical instructions, and notes on military and financial matters. The letters reveal commercial and maritime concerns alongside reflections on ambition and practical business arrangements. Official documents include pay-books, legal and constitutional commentary, and essays addressing finance, trade, currency, and international affairs. Read together, the pieces document the practical work of public life and the evolution of economic and governmental ideas through a mix of private dispatches, administrative detail, and argumentative writing.

CUSHING, DANA, AND BRECK TO HAMILTON.

New-York, Sept. 10, 1786.

Gentlemen:

Understanding, on our arrival in this city last Friday evening, that you had gone on for the Convention at Annapolis the week past, we take the liberty to acquaint you, and beg you to communicate to the Convention, if it should be opened before we arrive there, that we shall set off from this place to-morrow to join them, as Commissioners from the State of Massachusetts, which we hope to do in the course of this week. The Commissioners from Philadelphia were to sail from thence for this city, on the seventh instant, so that they may be expected soon after us.

With great respect,
Your most obedient humble servants,
Thomas Cushing.
F. T. H. Dana.
Saml. Breck.

The Gentlemen
Commissioners for New-York.
