12 Juin 1805 [June 12, 1805]. Manuscript copy of a letter to Grant Forbes & Co. at New York. Received his of February seventh and learned of the death of George Meade. Particularly affected as Meade was a friend; his memory will be honored. Grant Forbes stated that Booth & Helmes are executor. Following up by sending an invoice for the items given to Meade for sale. Please give it to Booth & Helmes and claim the proceeds of sales by Meade and following his death. Please inform on the status; hopes to see resolution in a few months given his work and interest in business. The head of the house is well known to the Americans, with whom he worked in Jérémie during the period of unrest. Hopes for more continuous correspondence.
