From Dominick Barthe
Philadelphia March 8th 1811.
Sir,
I Have the Honour of forwarding to You per Mail, a Package intrusted to my care at St Petersburg by Mr Levett Harris. I had flattered myself with the prospect of getting here early in november last, but the Brig on board of which I was Supercargo having been detained by the British in coming out of the Sound and Sent to London; my return home has been delayed considerably, although vessel & cargo were restored without trial.
I have the Honour to be Respectfully,
| Dck Barthe |
