From Thomas Jefferson to Robert Smith, 20 April 1808

Gentlemen of the Senate,

I nominate

Joseph Tarbell—now a Lieutenant in the Navy—to be a Master Commandant in the Navy—to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of George Cox late a Master Commandant.


Words in italics in Robert Smith’s hand


[Postscript in TJ’s hand:]

Will mr Smith be so good as to say what is the appointment vacated by Cox & to which Tarbell is to be promoted, as that must be specifically named to the Senate

Th:J.

Apr. 20. 08.
