 Hamilton, The Works of Alexander Hamilton, (Federal Edition), vol. 11 ToC: The Online Library of Liberty
Robert Benson, his nephew, was present, saw the paper deposited by Hamilton in a volume of Pliny, and afterwards examined it himself.
Benson said that he saw Hamilton and saw the list which was in Hamilton's handwriting; that his uncle made a copy of it, which still exists, and that his uncle then deposited the original in the New York Public Library.
To suppose that it did not exist, is to assume that Egbert Benson and his nephew were either liars or forgers, or both, and the mere statement that such an assumption is necessary, is sufficient to destroy at once any theory that the Benson list never existed in Hamilton's handwriting.

The venerable Egbert Benson was its first president, and had attempted to direct its action to the traditional lore of which he himself possessed so ample a fund.
It was not found practicable, however, by means of the limited contributions of individuals, to accumulate sufficient funds for the furtherance of its objects, nor would the friends of the distinguished dead intrust their memorials to an ephemeral association.
Its library still remains an evidence of the liberality of the state, and a monument of the earnestness with which Clinton furthered such institutions as were intended to add to the permanent reputation of the country.
