From Thomas P. Grosvenor and Others

Feb 23d 1815

Sir

Understanding that the office of district Attorney of the District of NewYork has become Vacant, by the election of Mr Sandford to the Senate of the United States,

We therefore beg leave to recommend Col Samuel Hawkins of the city of NewYork to fill the vacancy.1

We make this recommendation unsolicited by Col Hawkins. And we have no doubt he would discharge the duties of the office with ability and fidelity

Thomas P Grosvenor
[and five others]
