You are not unacquainted with the causes which have hitherto suspended a settlement of the claim of Dr. Stevens against the United States. He has complained of the delay which has already taken place; but as these causes still exist in part, I am not yet prepared to decide on every item of his account. As it is just that a part of his claim about which there is reason to believe that there...
