In 1807 I was induced to retire and come to my Friends at Philadelphia, and I now keep a Store in Harrisburgh, Pennsylvania.” On the basis of his familiarity with military discipline “and the Regulations in Camps, Garrisons, and Quarters, also on board Ships,” requests employment “in the Military Academy, Disciplining the Militia, or in the Military Establishment in any part.” Wrote twice during the last session of Congress, giving Mr. Leib and Mr. Seybert as referees, but the letters were not answered, presumably because they were mistakenly addressed to Henry Dearborn.
