John Adams to John Marshall, September 23, 1800

Quincy Sept 23d 1800

Dear Sir

Enclosed is a letter from Mr Samuel Parkman, a very respectable citizen of Boston & a member of our Massachusetts legislature, recommending Mr George A Cushing to be Consul at Havanna. You will find in your office the papers referred to. This letter you will please to file with them to be considered in case. I know nothing of the probability of the office being vacant. A letter is also inclosed from Francois Truin. I send it to you merely because I know not what else to do with it.

With great regard &c.
