Mrs. Cushing joins in the most sincere regards to you,
Mrs. Jay, and family.

ALEXANDER HAMILTON TO JAY.
Philadelphia, December 18th, 1792.
My dear Sir:
Your favours of the 26th November and 16th inst. have
duly come to hand. I am ashamed that the former has
remained so long unacknowledged; though I am persuaded
my friends would readily excuse my delinquencies, could
they appreciate my situation. 'Tis not the load of proper
official business that alone engrosses me, though this would
be enough to occupy any man. 'Tis not the extra attentions I am obliged to pay to the course of legislative manoeuvres, that alone adds to my burthen and perplexity.
'Tis the malicious intrigues to stab me in the dark, against
which I am too often obliged to guard myself, that distract
and harass me to a point, which, rendering my situation
scarcely tolerable, interferes with objects to which friendship and inclination would prompt me.
I have not, however, been unmindful of the subject of
your letters. Mr. King will tell you the state the business
was in. Nothing material has happened since. The representation will probably produce some effect, though not as
great as ought to be expected. Some changes for the
better, I trust, will take place.
The success of the vice-president is as great a source of
satisfaction, as that of Mr. Clinton would have been of
