Sir

Your Letter of the 28th of January did not reach me ’till yesterday.

In answer to it—I can only repeat what I before said on the same subject, in answer to your former application, that from the testimony of those under whom you have served and from the little opportunity I have myself had of observing your Conduct I have every reason to believe you a meritorious Officer—nor will any objection arise on my part, to a compliance with your request on the part of Congress. I am Sir Your most Obedt Servt

Go: Washington
