Philadelphia 6 June 1798
my dear Hamilton.
I had reckoned upon the arrival immediate.
of the Secy. of Marine when I wrote you that
I should leave this city for New York to-day.
he will not be here before Friday. I cannot
of course set out sooner than monday.
I have requested Lt Col. Doughty to [strikethrough: go] join
me at Brunswick, and will bring with
me one Hill who possesses [undecipherable]
information which may be useful.
Yours sincerely
James McHenry
[Alexander Hamilton.]
