[121] *Mr. Adams, Secretary of State, to Mr. Glenn, district attorney.

Department of State,
May 11, 1819.

Sir: I have received your letter of the 8th instant. Mr. Biscoe, inspector of the customs at Nottingham, will deliver you this letter. He goes to Baltimore in pursuit of the Irresistible, which after having been seized by the officers at Nottingham was taken from them, and is supposed to be at Baltimore.

I beg leave once more to recommend this vessel to your particular attention, and that you will use every legal exertion to bring to justice those who have made her the instrument of their piracies.

I am, &c.,

JOHN Q. ADAMS.

Elias Glenn, Esq.
