It is with reluctance that I find myself compelled to be again troublesome to you: Your conduct has given me great uneasiness. I have repeatedly complained to you, and you have several times verbally, and by Letter promised me an explanation of it.1 It is of great importance that I should have this satisfaction, and that it should no longer be delayed; you will therefore be so good as to write me by the Gentleman who is the Bearer of this, when I may expect you to comply with your promise. I must also request that you will give me in writing the reasons which at Chaillot you told me induced you to think that Congress did not intend I should have the alterations proposed in the Treaty of Commerce, communicated to me. This you assured me at the time should be done within a day, or two; and though several weeks have elapsed, I have heard nothing from you on the subject. I mention this matter to you now, because I have reason to believe my conversation with you has been misrepresented. If this has been done by mistake, I am desirous of having it corrected. I am Sir Your most Obedient humble Servant
