John Adams to James McHenry, September 21, 1798

Quincy Sept 21st 1798

Dear Sir

I received last night your favor of the 15th with its inclosures, & perceive nothing to alter.

Inclosed is a letter from Samuel Treat who has been a lieutenant at the castle a long time. His claims to a continuance in service I hope will be considered, but I know nothing of him, but his appearance on a late visit to me & the inclosed letter

John Adams
