Transcript	Show/hide My good friend I include for you the Proclamation done by the American Governance and [other] Payniers ; you can promulgate the arrest concerning the Police of Slaves: do your duty, like I do not doubt, [in regards] to the murderer committed in your port, and debrief the commissioner. Do not lose sight of the affair of the Bougaud army. There is nothing new in the city, if it is not a fire, that has soon been stopped; We will shortly have the American Commissioners and by the proclamation you will see that nothing will be changed of what has done Mr Lauttal; goodbye our good friend, to another time. January 1804 DeBlanc
