Dear Sir
I received two days ago your
Letter of the 24th of Sept with Inclosures
I am very sorry to learn your
health has been interrupted and heartily hope it is
fully restored
I return with this all the papers
I have received from you to this time I have
read them but find nothing which requires any par-
ticular observations from me. My sentiments are
in concord with yours and I pray you to con.
tinue to direct the business as you have done
and as you judge necessary till I shall have
the pleasure to see you
I know not what answer
can be given to the petitioners from Pe[undecipherable] it
is too late to revoke the orders complained of if
that were proper
With great esteem
Your humble Servant
John Adams
Mr McHenry
Secretary at War
