[Military Recommendation 23] albany 28 July 1790 D^r Sir Since I left York I have had the satisfaction of seeing your late appointment announced in the Papers; but I have seen nothing that decides your Rank in Relation to other Maj^r. Generals - doubts on such a point ought not to remain — many will doubtless apply for commands in the army & it is to be wished that a judicious Selection may be made — There is a gentleman (whom for your information I will mention) who I am told would accept a Company, and of whose military qualifications I have imbibed a very good opinion. I mean warren De Lancey - I think he was a L^t. in the british Service and sold out. - yours sincerely John Jay. Maj^r. Gen^l. Hamilton →
