Note 1277 — Chapter XI
Reading edition
Lee to Hamilton; Hamilton MSS., Lib. Cong. The first paragraph of Lee's letter to Hamilton shows that the latter was helping his friend financially; for Lee wrote, "God bless you & your efforts to save me from the manifold purse misfortunes which have & continue to oppress me, whenever I attempt to aid human nature. You will do what you think best, & whatever you do I will confirm—Hazard has acted the part of a decided rascal, & if I fail in my right, I may not in personal revenge." (Ib.)
