extract
raising of the frigate
notable phrase
sent to the other printers and desired they would not reprint the piece
asking stodder if he was the author of it he declared upon his honor that he was not
confess to you I was very much ashamed at seeing the piece
some persons might suppose it was published by some one concerned in building the frigate
judged either the agent, myself or any of the yard officers to be the author of this ridiculous piece you will please to deny it
account I have seen in the other papers respecting the raising of the frigate is modest and true
flattering to Stodder
Maryland journal is much in the Jacobine style
Frigate
congress
suppose you have seen an extract from the Maryland Journal
bombastical conclusion
raising of the Frigate
took up the paper
suspected it was some of Stodder's nonsence
