To William Paterson, 17 May 1799
New York May 17th 1799
Dear Sir,
I shall with all the respect so justly due to it bear in my mind your recommendation of Mr Wemys should the occasion occur in which consistently with all the considerations necessary to be attended to the Government can avail itself of his services—
with true esteem
A H.
