I have recd your favour of the 20th. and have no Objection to the plan you propose of raising a Company of Cavalry.—“Our means”! I never think of our means without shuddering! All the Declamations as well as Demonstrations of Trenchard & Gordon, Bolingbroke Bernard & Walpole, Hume, Burgh and Burke, rush upon my Memory and frighten me out of my Witts. The system of Debts and Taxes is levelling...
I have received the letter of Gen. Hamilton, inclosed in yours of 22 July, which I return as you desire. I see no material or reasonable objection against the appointment of Mr Thomas Y How to be a second lieutenant in the eleventh regiment. MHi : Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.
I am not happy enough to be master of language calculated to express the grateful sense I feel for every instance of your condescending kindness vouchsafed towards me ever since divine goodness favored me with the knowledge of, and an acquaintance with, the justly revered Head of our Nation—But at no time have I injoyed this inestimable blessing with greater pleasure, or with a more lively...
The enclosed Oration I have taken the liberty to inscribe to “ the man, whom his country loves & honors, because he loves & honors his country ,” in the hope (perhaps a presumptuous one,) that, as it was written in a period too circumscribed to acquire a correct knowledge of documents, & printed in a manner too hasty to permit revision either of style or sentiment, it may escape censure from...

In compliance with your request, I beg leave to propose Exeter to your consideration , as a substitute for Dover , for our regimental rendezvous, and submit to your consideration the following statement and reasons, viz. Exeter and Dover are nearly equal as to population, both situated at the head of navigation, on two seperate branches of Piscataqua River. The expence of transportation to &...
As several vacancies are probably about to be made, by the appointments of staff-officers, in my Regiment, permit me to recommend, respectfully, to your consideration, as Candidates for filling the same, Mr. Cyrus Perkins of Lyme, in this state, & Mr. Daniel Conner of Exeter— The former is a young gentleman of public education, of pleasing manners, of unblemished morals, of a strong mind,...
I have received your Circular Letter of the 22d. and am pleased to find, there is a prospect, that the supply of cloathing is likely to keep pace with the recruiting service—I did not know that there was any defficiency, or that any person had presumed to charge the War-office with neglect on this subject, untill I perused the extract of a Letter from the Secretary of War, of the 10th. inst....
Enclosed I have the honor of presenting a letter from Capt. Fondy, recommending Mr. Tobias V. Cuyler as a Candidate for a Lieutenancey in the 12th. Regt. I have not the pleasure of an acquaintance with Mr. Cuyler, but from the warmth of Capt.
