Dear Sir
Enclosed is a letter from General L. R. Morris, recommending John Cook [undecipherable: Gage?] to be a Capt in the second regiment of Artillery. Mr. Cook had his education to the law under Mr. Chipman the Senator. It is possible he may make one the instructors in your military academy.
With sincere regard &c
