To Joseph Hopkinson

My dear Sir

     All my endeavours to find a pamphlet published many years ago, for Chief Justice Marshall have failed. it is entitled "Calm Observer." published during a period when the two great parties in the U.S. were highly excited, farmer Giles, the supposed, or perhaps acknowledged author. If you can procure it by purchase or loan, & forward it to the Chief Justice as soon as possible, he will acknowledge it as a singular favour. I am in haste, my dear Sir very sincerely & affectly yrs

Bush. Washington
