TO PAUL HAMILTON.1mad. mss.

December 31, 1812.

Dear Sir,—

I have rec^d. your letter of yesterday, signifying your purpose to retire from the Dep^t. which has been under your care.

On an occasion which is to terminate the relation in w^ch. it placed us, I cannot satisfy my own feelings, or the tribute due to your patriotic merits & private virtues, without bearing testimony to the faithful zeal, the uniform exertions, and unimpeachable integrity, with which you have discharged that important trust; and without expressing the value I have always placed on that personal intercourse, the pleasure of which I am now to lose.

With these recollections & impressions I tender you assurances of my affect^e esteem, and of my sincerest wishes for your welfare & happiness.

[1 ]Hamilton’s resignation was probably on a hint from Madison. On January 12, 1813, William Jones, of Pennsylvania, succeeded him.
