[Private] New York Dec^r 26. 1798 D^r Sir As it may possibly not have come to you through any other Channel, I think it well to inform you that General Huntington has been displeased at not having receiv'd official notice of his appointment with his commission, this, if not already so, ought to be remedied. I hear nothing of nominations, what malignant influence hangs upon our military affairs? P.S. I left with General Pinckney a project of a military School which he was to have sent me, Has he [undecipherable] the Philadelphia? If so have you heard any thing of this paper? [undecipherable] with great esteem and regard Y^r H[u]m[b]le S[ervan]^t Hamilton James M^cHenry Esq^re
