Title
Recent Assumption of Duty as the Clerk of the Naval Yard
Description
Tingley states to Pickering that he has not made any return as of yet because he was only recently appointed Clerk of the naval yard; most of the business that the position is tasked with was accomplished prior to his assuming his position. He is enclosing an account of the supplies such as copper that are under his charge, and notes that he will be diligent in his duty and will report any necessary alterations in the making out of his accounts.
