Sir | Navy Depart. 28 May 1800 |
Mr Marshalls letter of acceptance arrived this morning. Mr Lee has written, but lest one letter should not overtake you, & knowing you will be anxious on this subject, I have taken the liberty, to address one note to you, at York Town, another at Fredk. Town.
I have the honor to be / with the highest respect / and esteem sir yr most / Obed Servt.
Ben Stoddert.
