Title
Fate of the Appointment of Peter Beates
Description
Mrs. Beates knows of Hodgdon's sensibility and his friendship with her revered parents. Most of her meager earnings support her and her impaired health. Peter is anxious to know the fate of his petition and will probably get on board some vessel if he is not successful. She asks for Hodgdon's prediction as to when the appointments will be made and adds that Peter would prefer the Navy.
