From Daniel Delozier, 10 June 1806 (Abstract)
§ From Daniel Delozier.1 10 June 1806, Baltimore. “On examining the assesment books of the district of Columbia, I find that Lot No. 8 in square 253 was assesed to John Templeman, and as it does not appear by the transcript of sales that any property assesed to him has been sold for the direct tax, it may fairly be presumed that the tax on that lot has been paid. The name of Voss does not appear on the Tax list of that district.”

He held the latter position until his death.
