To Charles Biddle (unpublished)
Thursday Nov. 2. 86
Sir

The Report you mention that your Conduct had been disapproved and complain’d of by me, is an infamous Falshood: You have always appear’d to me an excellenct Officer, well understanding the Duties of your Station, and indefatigably active in the Performance of those Duties. I give you this Testimonial with great Pleasure, being with sincere and great Esteem, Sir, Your most obedient Servant.
