Letter No. 4.
[van ness to hamilton.]
June 23, 1804.
Sir:—In the afternoon of yesterday I reported to Col. Burr the result of my last interview with you, and appointed the evening to receive his further instructions. Some private engagements, however, prevented me from calling on him till this morning. On my return to the city I found upon enquiry, both at your office and house, that you had returned to your residence in the country. Lest an interview there might be less agreeable to you than elsewhere, I have taken the liberty of addressing you this note to enquire when and where it will be most convenient to you to receive a communication.
Your most obt. and very humble servt.,
W. P. Van Ness.
- General Hamilton.
