To Pierre Landais, 28 January 1806 (Abstract)

§ To Pierre Landais. 28 January 1806, Department of State. “In answer to your letter of the 21st. inst. [not found] I have the honor to state, that on a search, which has been made, no letter from Mr. La Forrest, respecting your claim appears; nor do the records of the office contain any answer to such a letter. It is therefore probable, that if the claim was presented by Mr. La Forrest, at the time you suppose, it must have been verbally done.”1

Letterbook copy (DNA: RG 59, DL, vol. 15). 2 pp.
