I have the honor to inclose you also, copies of a letter and papers
from the Marechal de Castries, on the claim of an individual against the
State of South Carolina, for services performed on board the Indian;
and the petition of another, on a like claim: also copies of letters
received from O'Bryan at Algiers, and from Mr. Lambe. A letter of the
26th of May, from Mr. Montgomery, at Alicant, informs me, that by a
vessel arrived at Carthagena from Algiers, they learn the death of the
Dey of that republic. Yet, as we hear nothing of it through any other
channel, it may be doubted. It escaped me at the time of my departure to
Aix, to make arrangements for sending you the gazettes regularly, by the
packets. The whole are now sent, though a great part of them are so old
as to be not worth perusal. Your favor of April the 24th, has been duly
received.
I have the honor,to be, with sentiments of the most perfect esteem and
respect. Sir, your most obedient and most humble servant,
Th: Jefferson.
