Bath September 26th 1820

Dear Sir

Your letter of the 16th is now before me. The enclosed recommendation of Mr. Jarvis from the people of your county I receive with such pleasure, it will at the proper time receive consideration. That Mr. Jarvis is capable there can be no doubt, that his uniform patriotism and that of his families should have occasioned them many embarrassments heretofore while those sentiments and feelings were neither patriotism nor fashionable, was to have been expected, the merit is therefore the greater and the time it is to be hoped has arrived when that order of things is to be reversed.

To bestow this office upon a gentleman whose intelligence and uniform patriotism so well deserves it, is al-most a thing of course, to have it in my power to bestow it upon the protector of the wives and the children of my dearest friends is a greater gratification to me, the late Mr. Whiting was my confidential and particular friend, the best wish which I can express in relation to his Children is that they may inherit his virtues, my personal acquaintance with McLean was not equally particular, his patriotic course will I trust always be remembered.
