Abstract:
Unhappy being away from home, "but afraid to return unless I can tell the Sec[retar]y of the Navy that the business he sent me upon, is freely and properly executed." Recent snowfall enables them to retrieve "guns and heavy articles" from Rhinebeck. Still awaiting orders from Commodore [Isaac] Chauncey (1772-1840), "about cordage to be made at Albany." "My wish- anxiety- desire- to see you is greater than I can tell you." Made the acquaintance of a Frenchman, De Launay, "a near connexion of the Gentleman of that name who was governor of the Bastile." Notes De Launay's dislike of the Bonaparte government and his emigration to America to escape it. "Buonaparte according to his opinion, draws near the close of his tyrannical career, and Europe to the end of her miseries." Will try to get more evidence concerning his title to his grandfather's property in Scotland.
