§ From Robert Harrison Grayson. 17 March 1807, Washington. “Mr. Moses Daulton a resident of Limestone in this State, and an acquaintance of mine, perceiving by an act of the last Session of Congress, that a Surveyor is to be appointed for the port of Limestone1 has requested of me a letter of recommendation to the president in order to obtain the appointment to the office. I avail myself of the acquaintance Sir, I have the honor to have with you, to recommend through you Mr. Daulton to the president. Mr. Daultons political principles are I believe decidedly republican, and since I first became acquainted with him, which is about eight years since, he has uniformly as far as I have ever understood conducted himself with honesty and integrity, and I think if the office should be confered on him that he will discharge its duties with fidelity.”
