Dear Sir, (Meriwether Lewis)
The appointment to the Presidency of the U,S. has rendered it necessary for me
to have a private secretary... Your knolege of the Western country, of the army and all of it's
interests & relations has rendered it desireable for public as well as private purposes that you
should be engaged in that office...
Accept assurances of the esteem of Dear Sir
Your friend & servt.
