¶ From Jedadiah Harmon. Letter not found. 5 September 1806. Acknowledged in Daniel Brent to Harmon, 23 Sept. 1806, as enclosing a copy of a protection for Harmon’s son Walter Harmon, “an Impressed Seaman on board the British frigate Mermaid, at Halifax.” Brent sent the copy back, asking the elder Harmon to return it after writing his “own affidavit of the Truth thereof” on the back of it, which would “greatly strengthen the proof of the Citizenship of your Son, in the opinion of the Commanding officer of the vessel in which he is detained” (DNA: RG 59, Letters Received regarding Impressed Seamen, box 5).
