This is a one page letter signed by former 6th U.S. President John Quincy Adams, then serving in his role as Chairman of the U.S. House of Representatives' Committee of Manufactures. Adams addressed this letter to "Duff Green Esqr. Printer to Congress," no doubt wishing Green to print the letter and prepare it for wider circulation among U.S. Congressmen. In part: "Sir I am directed by the Committee of Manufacturers to enclose to you a Copy of the Resolution of the House referred to them by the House on the 11th instt. and to request the information which will be necessary to enable them to report thereon to the House. I am, with Respect, Sir your obedt. Servt. J.Q. Adams. Chairman of the Committee of Manufactures."
