Secretary of the Navy Stoddert writes Knox to tell him that he has passed on a letter to Knox's son Henry and has recommended that he be assigned as a midshipman. There is a note from Henry Jackson indicating the letter was sent via Jackson. Jackson justified reading it because it was from the Navy Office.
