Photo of a French clock gifted to Alexander and Elizabeth Hamilton by Hamilton's client, Louis Le Guen. Hamilton sent a thank you note to Le Guen in 1800, likely for this gift:

"My Dear Sir,

In announcing to you Mrs. Hamilton's acceptance of your obliging present and conveying to you the acknowledgments which she charges me to make to you I abandon the reluctance which I might otherwise feel to my sensibility at a mark of your attention so delicately conveyed.

The discharge of my professional duty towards you with all the zeal which the nature of the case demands has no claim upon your gratitude; but the sentiments you manifest towards me, will insure you (-----) on a principle more (--than) that of duty."
