From John Adams to James McHenry, 5 June 1799
Quincy June 5th 1799
Sir
I return the inclosures in your letter of 29th May. I know of no reason why Lt. James Sterit should not succeed to the vancy created by the death of Capt Demlar. The other papers, which I have read with pleasure require no comment from me.
With great regard
MHi: Adams Family Papers, Letterbooks.
