I beg leave only to add, that this recommendation does not arise from personal Attachment, but from a knowledge of his personal Merrit, & full persuation that should he meet with the Approbation of the President, he will do Honor to the appointment, by the rectitude of his Conduct. With due Esteem, & respect, I have the Honor to be, Sir.
