Mr. Levenhagen to Mr. Nelson.
Sir: I have had the honor to receive your excellency’s note, dated the 29th of the present month, requesting me to give my opinion of the accuracy of its enclosure—a memorandum of the interview between your excellency and Admiral Pareja, on board the frigate Villa de Madrid, on the 19th instant, at which I assisted.
After having carefully read that document, I have great pleasure in responding to your excellency’s wish, begging to say that I consider it a correct statement of the communications and observations made to Admiral Pareja on the aforesaid occasion, as well as his replies to the same.
I have the honor to remain, sir, very respectfully, your excellency’s most obedient servant,
His Excellency Thomas H. Nelson, Esq., Envoy Extraordinary, &c., &c., &c., of the United States of America.
