§ To George W. Erving. 3 July 1806, Department of State. “At the request of Govr. Claiborne,1 I have the honor to introduce to you Mr. Merricalt, as a respectable citizen of New Orleans. He is proceeding to Madrid with a view to obtain payment of a debt from the Spanish Government. Should you approve of his demand and its nature admit of your patronage, I request the favor of you to afford it to him.”
