Nothing in my power will be omitted to pay it forward in the other States. The prospect of success in the middle and Northern States is not bad.
I get nothing very precise about the Insurrection, But every thing continues to wear the character of [undecipherable]ecblmy, in repeat to the measures for supper going it. Although I hope it will not become a very serious, yet it will not be very astonishing, if from mismanagement, it should become more troublesome than it need to be___ With greatest respect & attachment I remain Dear Sir, your Obedt Servt A. Hamilton General Washington
