1. The enclosures are copies of (1) an undated translation (2 pp.) of a letter from Georg Wortmann to Clark explaining that American goods pay the same duty as those of other overseas countries whether in American or other ships, that no light money was charged there, and that quarantine expenses were regulated by the duration of time; (2) a 13 Apr. 1805 letter (1 p.) from burgomaster Rosingh to Clark stating that six sailors, escaped in 1804 from a British sloop of war and imprisoned at Delfzijl, Holland, were later sent to Harlingen, Holland, and released there. He added that there had been no mention of a John Priddel among them, but he had received reports that Priddel had taken service on a Dutch ship of the line in the Texel and could not therefore be delivered up; (3) an 18 Sept. 1804 letter (3 pp.) from Danish consul at Emden, Charles Tholen, to Clark corroborating an earlier report that the commander of a British ship of war had indeed impressed three sailors with American protections from a Danish ship coming from St. Thomas and replaced them with five Englishmen “quite unfit for service,” which might have been fatal had the Danish ship met with bad weather. Tholen commented that the British commander had violated the rights of two neutral powers, that the Danish captain being off Dover had informed the Danish minister at London of the treatment he had received, which would pave the way for Clark’s complaints, and added that he would cooperate with Clark’s efforts to get the Americans released.
