SIR Your letter from on board the steam boat has
been received. and while regret that any thing said
you should have excited any fears for your prospects,

10 apprehend doubts for your situation on board the
Constitution. The Secretary is too honorable m an 10

assurance that birth should be board the Con-
situton. and of this you have long since been apps-
ed. am wholly unwilling, therefore, to attach the
least suspicion to the assurance he thus has gwen and
TO convey in my remarks at Philade phia
no such idea; my only object to impress YOU the
necessity OF despatch in your business and to hurry
you in the settlement OF accounts; that whatever
time yon had, or might have for leisure and amuse-
ment might rather be availed OF after your business
was examined and closed than before. The Secreia.

attention. When done, you divide your time in
