Alexander Hamilton to Robert R Livingston, August 13, 1783

From Alexander Hamilton
To Robert R Livingston
August 13, 1783

Alexander Hamilton reports to Robert R. Livingston on the uncertain arrival of the definitive treaty ending the Revolutionary War and notes British preparations for evacuation, including troop movements and fleet departures. He observes a growing emigration from New York City, driven by political tensions and violent publications, which he predicts will have long-term economic effects on the state. Hamilton also mentions an unresolved issue previously raised by Livingston and Madison, hindered by increased political opposition.
