[New York Herald, July 16th, 1804.]
Letter No. 1.
[burr to hamilton.]
New York, June 18th, 1804.
Sir:—I send for your perusal a letter signed Charles D. Cooper,[1] which, though apparently published some time ago has but very recently come to my knowledge. Mr. Van Ness, who does me the favor to deliver this, will point out to you that clause of the letter to which I particularly request your attention.
You must perceive, sir, the necessity of a prompt and unqualified acknowledgment or denial of the use of any expression which would warrant the assertions of Dr. Cooper.
- I have the honor to be,
- Your obedient servant,
- I have the honor to be,
A. Burr.
- General Hamilton.
