Mr Morris, one of my Secretaries, will have the honor to deliver this to your Excellency, and may be intrusted with any despatches which you may choose to deliver him, that may contain further information than we have yet received on an event so interesting to us and to humanity as the return of peace.
I have the honor to be, &c.
ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.

Sir,
I have the honor to enclose for your perusal the copy of a letter, which I have just written to his Excellency General Carleton. If the subject of it should relate more to you than to his Department, I am satisfied that you will find equal pleasure in adopting such measures as humanity dictates, and mutually concur with the United States in the best means of extending, as early as possible, the blessings of peace to the subjects or citizens of the nations at war.
I have the honor to be, &c.
ROBERT R. LIVINGSTON.
