LETTER GIVING SKETCH OF FREDERICK BATES.7
These offices he held for many years, by successive appointments under Jefferson, Madison and Monroe. The Secretaryship died out with the Territory, in 1820, when the State formed itself. New States then went into operation as soon as they were made, without waiting for Congress to tell them whether they had or had not a Constitution. And he continued to hold the Recordership, until, in 1824, he was elected Governor (the second Governor) of the State of Missouri.
