Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Received his last letter, which excites in me the most grateful sensations. Did not know of any person who had a superior Claim upon Government office in the region than he did. Thought that all Congressional appointments would be made independently of the previous appointments given by state governments, before the new federal government had come into existence. Adds that Mr. [George] Thatcher (he spells it Thacher), the Congressional representative for his region, has corresponded with several merchants to find candidates for the import and export offices. Seems to suggest that local politicians and local merchants are in such good acquaintance that appointments might be handed out based on favoritism.

Discusses his prospects and hopes that Knox might be able to help him receive an appointment.
