§ From Joshua Gilpin. 11 July 1806, Philadelphia. “I had the honor to receive your Letter of the 8th May, inclosing a blank Bond for the purpose of being filled up and executed by my brother & myself as Securities for Mr John Gavino as Consul at Gibraltar: I should immediately have sent the Bond again to you in due form, but have been prevented by ⟨the⟩ absence of my brother, however I now do myself the pleasure to inclose, and hope it will fully answer the purpose.”
