Sir,
I have the honour to transmit to you the enclosed Commission for the Sieur Sagrenet at the port of in France, which the President has executed, leaving a blank for the name of the port, which he says you will be so good as to fill, as you are apprized of it,1 and it has escaped his recollection.
Upon your doing this I have to request that you take the additional trouble of returning the Commission to this office, that it may be forwarded, with the usual instructions, to the Sieur Sagrenet.
