Summary
The corrections made during Hamilton's interview with Jay on the Farewell Address did not refer to the original draft, which was not then read. Peters' statement is too strong, and does not make sufficiently clear the distinction between the facts stated in Jay's letter and the inferences which may be drawn from them.
