To James Madison from Louis-Marie Turreau, 24 July 1806 (Abstract)

From Louis-Marie Turreau, 24 July 1806 (Abstract)

§ From Louis-Marie Turreau. 24 July 1806, Baltimore. Forwards a letter sent to Turreau by Jean Eusèbe Gabriel Fatin Jr., which claims for Fatin’s wife the indemnity of $200 granted by the United States to other passengers who, like her, were on board the ship Deux Anges, bound to Bordeaux from Cap Français, when it was captured by an American frigate and carried to Boston.1 Requests that JM take into consideration this claim, founded on the loss Mme. Fatin suffered by the capture of the ship and on the justice exercised by the United States in regard to the other passengers.

RC (DNA: RG 59, NFL, France, vol. 2–3). 1 p.; in French; in a clerk’s hand, signed by Turreau.

1For the case of the Deux Anges, see Louis-André Pichon to JM, 9 Dec. 1801, and 4 Jan. (second letter) and 14 Apr. 1802, PJM-SS description begins Robert J.
