John Chaloner to Alexander Hamilton, July 14, 1784

Philada July 14, 1784

Dear Sir

Inclosed you have Mr Peter Whiteside’s 1 draft on Messrs. James Buckannan & Co. 2 for One thousand Dollars at six days Sight, Mr Thomas Irwin 3 on Captn Geo Geddes 4 at 5 days sight for twenty three pounds 9/2, & James Bowne on William Bowne 5 at twenty days for seventy five dollars, making on the whole four hundred twenty six pounds 11/8 which I doubt not will meet due honour. This I have charg’d to Mr Church. I have hitherto neglected vesting Mr Church’s money in Bank Stock in hopes of buying it under par. None as yet offerd & I must therefore buy at par unless you think otherwise. I purchased a little while before I reced your Orders under par which encouraged me to expect it now.

I am applied to for an obligation of Mr Traceys 6 to Mr Church for Bank Stock their agents being desireous to discharge it. If you are in possession of the obligation please to forward it that payment may be reced.

Mr Macarty 7 will give you directions respecting Mr Woodwards 8 bill and any others that I have remitted you payable to him.

Mrs Chaloner joins me in Compliments and I remain    Sir    Your most Obdt hble Servt

Alexr Hamilton Esqr
