Dear Sir 266
Applications like this enclosed from Mr Francis Moor, recommended by the ablest men of Cambridge, Dr Tappan & Mr Klone, I never know how to receive. No particular employment is specified & I am left to study what can be done for the man. The consequence generally if not universally has been that nothing has ever been done for him. In such cases I know not which of the heads of departments to consult. I transmit these papers to you because you know the persons who recommend if not the one recommended. I wish you to show them to the Sec. of the Treasury & to the Sec. of the Navy & if any thing occurs in the departments of either, by which you can serve Mr Moor & the public together it will be a gratification & incentive stranger to him
Secretary of War.
