Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Letter Books of W. C. C. Claiborne, 1801-1816, Vol. 5 Sir, I have the honor to enclose you Copies of letters (marked No. 1 & 2) I have addressed to the Consuls of the U. States at Havanah and Jamaica, and also of a Note from me, to Captain Porter (No. 3) requesting that if the public service permitted, he would forward these letters by an Armed Vessel of the U. States. - Two or three vessels from the City of Sto. Domingo via Jamaica have recently arrived in the Mississippi, with passengers and some slaves on board and others are expected. - Already New-Orleans and its vicinity are crowded with the unfortunate Refugees from Cuba, and if the French of St. Domingo, Jamaica (& perhaps Guadaloupe, for I am told it is about to attacked) should also seek an asylum here, I shall deem it alike unfortunate for them and for us; - for independent of political considerations, this society will be totally unable to furnish conveniences for so numerous and sudden as emigration, or to supply the wants of the poor and distressed. I am particularly desirous to discourage the Emigrants from bringing slaves with them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
