Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Memoirs of John Quincy Adams, Vol. 6: Comprising Portions of His Diary From 1795 to 1848 June 2d, 1822. - General D. Parker came in, and detained me at an interview of more than three hours. Parker was brought in as Chief Clerk of the War Department by Dr. Kustis. He continued in that office through the period while General Arm¬strong was Secretary at War, and afterwards while Mr. Monroe was the Secretary. He was afterwards appointed Adjutant- and Inspector-General, with the rank of Brigadier-General. At the reduction of the army last year that office was abolished, and Parker was made Paymaster-General in the room of Towson, who was suddenly turned into a colonel of artillery. Hut, the Senate having at their late session rejected the nomination of Towson as colonel of artillery, the President nominated him to his old post of Paymaster-General, whereby Parker was removed from it without any other provision being made for him. Both the President and the Secretary of War have reasons for disliking, and, as he evidently thinks, for dreading Parker, and the very day that he was worried out of office by the nomination of Towson to his place, Crawford wrote him a note (6th May), unsolicited on his part, offering him a clerkship of a thousand dollars salary in the Treasury Department, which he declined. Me showed me this note of Crawford´s, and said he understood its meaning. It was saving to him : This is all I have to give, and this is at your disposal.
