From John Adams to James McHenry, 26 September 1798
Quincy Sept 26th 1798
Dear Sir
The inclosed address and petition from the Hudson independent rangers should have been transmitted to you sometime ago; but in my distress it has been omitted. You will please to give them such an answer as our rules and circumstances will admit of.
I am &c
John Adams
