From John Adams to James McHenry, 27 July 1799
Quincy July 27th 1799
Sir
I have received the letter of Gen. Hamilton, inclosed in yours of 22 July, which I return as you desire. I see no material or reasonable objection against the appointment of Mr Thomas Y How to be a second lieutenant in the eleventh regiment.
