I enclose to you also a letter & documents from his Excellency Governor Jackson of Georgia, which I pray you to consider & answer according to those arrangements, which you have made for the general service. We ought to give all the attention in our power to Georgia, which is not only much exposed, but of much importance in the defence of the nation. Inclosed also are recommendations of Aaron Man of Providence, W^m Neal of Massachusetts James c McHenry Esq^r I have the honor to be &c Secretary at War John Adams
