Baltimore 12 Octr. 1800 My dear Hamilton Mr Wolcott informed me by a letter I reed yesterday evening that he was to leave the seat of Government [his family!] for a visit to [strikethrough: undecipherable] to day. He goes by way of Lancaster & I expect [strikethrough: undecipherable] [strikethrough: undecipherable] [strikethrough: undecipherable] through [to] New York — [strikethrough: undecipherable] see him in which case I [was] you to [strikethrough: undecipherable] come him the enclosed letter. If [undecipherable] any accident should prevent [him] from seeing you, be pleased to send it to him. It will show you what I think of [undecipherable: probable reading — Hampshire] and my expectations relative to the number of votes the State may furnish to [for] Mr Adams & Gvn Pinckney. [undecipherable] Rhode Island vote [for] Pinckney? [undecipherable] Massachusetts [undecipherable] [strikethrough: undecipherable] [undecipherable] votes? will Connecticut quite [strikethrough: undecipherable] be found [undecipherable] and [undecipherable] votes [undecipherable] [strikethrough: undecipherable] and [to?] Adams not more than [undecipherable] or one? [strikethrough: undecipherable] [undecipherable] things [strikethrough: undecipherable] if these questions can be answered affirmatively [undecipherable] Gvn Pinckney will be our next President. yours affely. Alex: Hamilton J^r [Docket: 12 Octo 1800 / [strikethrough: undecipherable] / To Alexr. Hamilton]
