Washington, 30th Dec 1800
Dear Sir
I rece'd this morning your favour of 26th and immediately applied at the Navy office for the Master Roll of the Congress for your guidance in the distribution of the salvage in question-They cannot ascertain it without knowing exactly the date of the recapture as they have no official return thereof-If you'll please forward the date requisite I will immediately obtain a copy of the master roll correspondent therewith-Happy whenever it shall be in my power to serve you I remain
Respectfully Yrs
Tho. Tingey
