Whenever a commission is issued to a new Commr. of loans, his predecessor is officially notified by the Comptroller to surrender his papers &a. Provided that notification shall not reach Mr Perkins till after the 1st day of July no inconvenience will arise. Might not Mr Skinner be privately informed that a commission will be sent to him in Boston which he will find there say on 3d July? and the commission &c. may be accordingly prepared & forwarded here. Peter P. Schuyler though unknown may do for the temporary appointment at Mobile, unless the President should prefer to send a blank commission to Mr Kirby or to Mr Chambers—

Respectfully submitted
