<Bordeaux, February 25, in French: I consigned some vinegar
to Dublin on the Barbara, Capt. Welsh. She was captured and
taken into Lorient by an American ship, I have just learned,
and is being held there. I have the right as a Frenchman to
repossess my merchandise, and ask you to have it released to
the holder of my power of attorney, or to be reimbursed for
its value according to the invoice that I am sending.>
