Confirming McHenry's opinion to wait until Congress has made a decision to appoint a new clerk of the New York naval yard
Description
Fox confirms McHenry's opinion not to make an appointment to replace the deceased clerk of the New York naval yard until the wishes of Congress are known. The business is being dealt with, but until a decision is made Talbot should simply make preparations to make the appointment as soon as a decision is reached.
