Washington September 21 1841

My Dear Sir

I [?] have to insist your particular 
attention to the case of Mr C Sharpe who has been 
dismissed from the Navy.
It would afford his numerous friends infinite satisfaction 
if you would interpose in his behalf & restore him 
again to a station in the Navy where, I sincerely 
believe, he would hereafter be found useful & efficient. 
That he has erred, none can deny, "but to err is human 
and to forgive divine." May I ask our President to 
restore him again to a station, which I trust he will 
hereafter adorn.

I have the honor to be
Your friend & Obedient Servant 
George B. Cary

The President of the U.S.

Hon Mr Cary [?]
The restoration of Mr Sharp to the navy.
