Title
Concerning an appointment for commissioner
Description
Steele stresses that his removal from the Executive Council was procured by the denunciation of his character made by an individual to McHenry. Steele announces that he has written to John Adams to replace Alexander White - who is likely to resign - as a commissioner to establish the nation's capital. Steele notifies McHenry that he listed him as a reference.
