Alexander Hamilton to Gouverneur Morris, March 21, 1784

[New York, March 21, 1784]

Dr. Sir

Permit me to introduce to Your acquaintance and attention Mr Seaton Cashier of the Bank of New York. 2 He is just setting out for Philadelphia to procure materials, and information in the forms of business. I recommend him to you, because I am persuaded you will with pleasure facilitate his object. Personally I dare say you will be pleased with him.

He will tell you of our embarrassments and prospects. I hope an incorporation of the two banks which is evidently the interest of both has put an end to differencies in Philadelphia. 3 Here a wild and impracticable scheme of a land bank stands in our way; the projectors of it persevering in spite of the experience they have that all the mercantile and monied influence is against it. 4
