Note: These are copies of the first 2 pages of JA's much longer draft, preceding. Cf. Hamilton, Works, 6:391–444; JA, Works, 9:241–311 (JA's letters to Boston Patriot, 1809, re Hamilton's pamphlet); and Mitchell, New Letters of AA, p. 258, note 4.
The true date of the full draft may very well be 1809, not 1800–1801.
