He has forwarded a letter from Mrs. [Elbridge?] Gerry, notes that [Count Edward] DeCrillon was a scoundrel and has passed on recommendations for young men wishing to be in the Corps of Cadets. He concludes by noting that "I rejoice that the Freemen of the U. States have given unequivocal proof of their competence to self government, under circumstances of serious difficulty, by supporting in defence of their rights and honor, the attitude taken by their govt. against G. Britain."
