Expresses Gratitude for Federal Gazette and Support for the President
Document 1789Thanks him for sending the Federal Gazette, and requests future copies. Wishes to address the President on behalf of their regiment to voice their support and respect.
Fort Harmar August 31, 1789. My dear Sir: * * * You have been so obliging as to forward me the Federal Gazette which Beatty has subscribed for, which demands my thanks. Be kind enough to continue forwarding that paper as I think it a very useful one. I have had it in contemplation, amidst the general joy, to address our illustrious President in behalf of the regiment, but so much time has elapsed that it is more than probable an address now would rather be out of season. This I am very confident of, that every officer, one and all of us, entertain the highest love and veneration for his character, and pray heaven to prosper his administration. * * * * Believe me to be &c. Jos. Harmar. Joseph Howell Jr, Paymaster General, at New York.
