Dear Sir

Having been repeatedly called off since I undertook1 to make a Copy of the inclosed “Chronological series of Facts relative to Louisiana” for the use of this Dept I could not get it finished until this Moment.

Having finished it, I hasten to send you the Paper in your own hand writing not doubting that you will prefer it to a Copy taken from it.

With Sentiments of the Highest Respect & Regard I have the Honor to be, Sir, Your Most Obt Sert
