§ From Andrew Hadfeg. 28 October 1806, Santiago de Cuba. “I had the honour to write to you the 29th: of September by Duplicate giving you an account of Such occurrences at this place as I thought worthy your notice. I also took the liberty in my Duplicate by Schor: Roby via Baltimore to give you advice of the trade carried on at this place by some Americans with the revolted Negroes of Hyspaniola, which began to make a great noise here. The french Agent of Sto. Domingo here has applied in writing to the present Consul Mr: Rogers, begging him to cooperate as much as in his power to prevent such a trade being carried on, and I do not doubt but Mr: Rogers will give you such informations, as he shall think necessary.

“I have also applied in my said letter for the Office of the American Consulate at the City of Sto. Domingo which I was informed by several Americans arrived here from Said City of being vacant, and shall be ever grateful to you Sir by obtaining said Appointment if not already disposed. I shall always try to give intire satisfaction to our Governt: and be usefull to our Citizens.”
