Letter
Mcculloch to Alexander Beard, April 22, 1818
Mr. McCulloch, collector, to Captain Beard.
Custom-House, Baltimore, Collector’s Office, April 22, 1818.
Sir: The brig you speak of as a Spanish vessel, prize to a Buenos Ayrean vessel of war, may come up and enter as a merchantman, if in need of any supplies for the crew or repairs to enable the vessel to navigate safely, but an officer must be put on board to prevent anything being landed until she is ready to depart from the United States.
An inspector of the customs will perform this duty, and go down for the purpose.
JAMES H. MCCULLOCH.
Captain Alexander Beard.
