Sir,
I have received the letter, with which you honored me on the 31st ultimo, and the affidavit enclosed in it. I have the honor of sending it back to you, and I also annex a letter for the commanding officer of the Island of St Domingo. It will be necessary, that Mr William Marshall should be charged to prosecute this affair himself.
I have the honor to be, &c.
