Alexander Hamilton to Clement Biddle, August 20, 1780

From Alexander Hamilton
To Clement Biddle

Alexander Hamilton appeals to Clement Biddle to show leniency toward Mr. Laurence, a loyal supporter of the American cause facing the loss of his hay and livestock, which threatens his family's survival. Hamilton urges Biddle to spare Laurence's provisions if possible, balancing military needs with compassion. He emphasizes this request as a personal favor rather than an official order.
