Writes that he received Rodney's last letter, respecting Rodney's correspondence with the President about Judge [Thomas] McKean and Colonel John Parks (see GLC02437.04345). Believes the President has complete knowledge of the character of these gentlemen, and does not flatter himself that he has special influence over the President. However, if he may be of some use, he will certainly provide his positive opinion.
