Title
Concerning Officer Appointments
Description
Notes a difference of opinion concerning the "construction of the Constitution" [apparently referencing Constitutional law concerning officer appointments, as the frigate Constitution had already been launched by this time]. Considers the appointment of 2 men as recommended by McHenry, feeling inclined to do so but asking for more information about the early life of one.
