From John Adams to James McHenry, 23 May 1800
Philadelphia May 23d 1800
Sir
I have received your note of this date & have read all the papers. This whole business is so entirely new to me, that I have read the documents with great surprize. I highly approve of the proposed enquiry & of your letter to Messrs Shepherd Parks & Ely
I am Sir with great esteem
