9 March 1810, Detroit. Recommends Harris H. Hickman for collectorship at the port of Michilimackinac, to replace the late George Hoffman. “Mr. Hickman’s connection with my family” makes it delicate to mention the gentleman’s abilities, “which peculiarly qualify him for the office,” but he is known personally to Jonathan Robinson and Peter B. Porter in Congress.
