Marked Private. Captain Rodgers writes to Lieutenant Mayo who is in Annapolis, Maryland. Says Secretary of the Navy Southard is about to appoint a lieutenant to superintend the naval school just established on board the frigate "Guerriere" at Norfolk, Virginia. State the pay will be equal to that of a Lieutenant Commander. Informs Mayo he will be appointed if he desires the post. Signed note on verso by Mayo says "It was kind in the old Comr. to remember me - but I declined the offer..." Says Rodgers' good opinion of him is quite a compliment.
