Letter from Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton to Secretary of State Edmund Randolph, July 7, 1794
This letter demonstrates the usefulness of the National Bank.
Hamilton notifies Secretary Randolph that the bank made a payment to fund John Hay's travel to London to negotiate the peace treaty that bears his name.
He also reports that the Bank reimbursed the U.S. consul at Martinique for returning American sailors home following the capture of their ship by a British vessel. |
