Correspondence, 1793.

Correspondence, dated May 17, 1793, to Governor Simcoe from Hamilton in St. George's, Bermuda. The letter reminded the Governor of the services provided by Alexander and William Macomb to Simcoe while Hamilton commanded Detroit. It was probably both a letter of recommendation and a silent reminder to Simcoe about payment owed to the Macombs.
