Alexander Hamilton to Elizabeth Schuyler Hamilton, March 17, 1785

[Chester, New York, March 17, 1785]

I have just written to you 1 My beloved by the person who will probably be the bearer of this. Col Burr just tells me, that the house we live in is offered for sale at £2100. 2 I am to request you to agree for the purchase for me, if at that price. If you cannot do better, you may engage that the whole shall be paid in three months; but I could wish to pay half in a short time and the other half in a year. Adieu my Angel

A Hamilton
