Letter
By the President. Daniel Webster to Joseph D. Webster, December 3, 1819
Mr. McCulloch, collector, to Captain Webster.
Custom-House, Baltimore, Collector’s Office, December 3, 1819.
Sir: Upon receiving this be pleased to attend the South American schooner El Ameida till she goes out of the Chesapeake. You will anchor near her when she anchors, and keep off all boats or vessels visiting her and prevent anything being *carried on board her from the water or land side that will add to her military strength. The necessary supplies of fresh provisions and water and vegetables are not intended to be denied, but men and warlike stores must be driven off or seized. [132]
If the inspector meet you he will give you the commission and clearance of the vessel, which you will please deliver to her commander at her departure.
- J. H. McCULLOCH.
- Captain John A. Webster.
