Hon’d & Respected Sir, | Washington. 15. August. 1825. |
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your note of the 5.th. inst. informing me of your having received (you presumed) from me a Copy of the Life and Character of the Chevalier John Paul Jones; I must apologize to you for not mentioning in a Note that it was presented to you by the Author, which I thought had been done, as I had given directions [so to do].
John H. Sherburne
