§ To Anthony Merry. 28 July 1806, Department of State. “I beg leave to trouble you with the enclosed Duplicate Copies of a Document in this office concerning John L. Deveber, and of a letter from him to his uncle in Newyork, by which it appears that he is detained in the British frigate Cambrian. As this vessel is supposed to be still on the American Coast, I must request the Interposition of your good offices to procure the discharge of Deveber.”
