Hon’d & Respected Sir,
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 5.th. inst. informing me of your having received (you presumed) from me a Copy of the Life and Character of the Chevalier John Paul Jones; I must apologize to you for not mentioning in a Note that it was presented to you by the Author, which I thought had been done, as I had given directions so to do.
