American Consulate London October 31st. 1801
Sir
The disappointment of Mr. Dawson as to ⟨h⟩is passage, & his consequent return to London a ⟨se⟩cond time, Enables me to forward by him the ⟨en⟩closed statements; not having expected so immediate and favorable opportunity I have been ⟨so⟩mewhat hurried; a further & more minute ⟨ex⟩amination may discover some small Errors or omissions. ⟨Th⟩ere can be scarcely any such that are important. ⟨I⟩ hope these papers may be found to be of the ⟨n⟩ature you desired & am with great Respect Sir your very faithful & obt. Servt.
George W Erving
