From John Adams to Oliver Wolcott, Jr., 20 July 1799

Quincy July 20th 1799

Sir

I return the commission signed, which you sent me in your letter of the 18th. I have left it in blank, that you may fill it, as you may find necessary or expedient. The recommendation of Mr Fleet is satisfactory. But I should be sorry that Mr. Burwell should be displeased if his election should fail.
