U.S. Ship Boston

Montevideo

12 April 1828

Dear Sir This answers it here with a
list duly certified of the vessels that
have entered the blockaded port
in support of the blockade, also a list
of vessels that have departed. I have
papers I presume will be useful if
it becomes necessary for you to fight
against the legality of the blockade.
I sent you some time ago under
cover to Wainwright other documenting

I regret to learn from W Ferber that
you have been detained in Chile by
indisposition.
Yours with esteem
James Biddle
