From Richard Cutts, 30 June 1806 (Abstract)

§ From Richard Cutts. 30 June 1806, Saco. “I am desired by the friends of Mr John H Andrews the son in Law of Colo. Hitchborn to recommend him as a suitable person to be appointed Consul at the Havanna ’tis said the present Consul has returned to the United States & is about to resign. Mr Andrews has resided some time past at the Havanna, as a merchant, holds a fair character & is beloved by his Countrymen. I am not personally acquainted with Mr Andrews. The above is from a Friend. I am told that he speaks & writes French perfectly & Spanish very well.

“We are anxious to hear from the British & Spanish Cabinets through the Medium of washington. All is peace & quietness here. No division among the Republicans. We are suffering with a severe drought. The crop of hay is cut short one half. Remember me affectionately to Mrs Madison.”

RC (DNA: RG 59, LAR, 1801–9, filed under “Andrews”). 1 p.; in a clerk’s hand, signed by Cutts.
