War department June 5th. 1799

Sir,

I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your two letters of the 4. instant.

Dr. Hezekiah W. Bissell does not belong to any particular regiment, he is an additional Surgeons Mate appointed in pursuance of the powers vested in the President by the first section of the act to augment the Army of the United States. You will therefore order him to such place as you may think will be most wanted.

Doctor Oliver Hubbard has been appointed an additional Surgeon’s Mate, and directed to repair to Portland, and place himself under the orders of Captain Stoddard—

I am Sir with great respect Your obedient servant

James McHenry

Major General A. Hamilton
