Sir
With reference to your letter of the
17th instance and to Paragraph 92 of
Instructions. I beg to acquaint you that
I was informed that [Wr] 1. had been
forwarded- in respect of "Vesta! - by the
Officer of the Coast Guard.
The Master and Crew of the Vesta
have returned to [Prussia] consequently the
form cannot be filled up - from the
statement of any one now here. But most
of the particulars can be taken from the
copy of the Master Declaration which I
forwarded to you on the 3rd Instant.
