Giles.

Hamilton.

Monroe.
That money was paid out of the Treasury of the United States.
Hamilton.
It was paid out of my own personal account.
Monroe.

Hamilton.
Yes, I know what it was paid for, and from what Mr. Giles says, you know also.

Hamilton.
[Stopping opening drawer quickly.] What do you mean?
Monroe.
That he might buy up the states' debts, for your benefit.
Hamilton.
[Rising.] What!
