Secretary of the Navy
Sir
Quincy Sept 14 1799
I am out of patience with some body, I know not whom. Your letter of the 4 of August, reached but last night. It had been certainly to Cape Cod, and what other travels it had made I know not. I readily consent to the appointment of Mr Pierre Gaillard upon the recommendation of Gen. Pinckney
Sec at War.
