Letter of James S. Duval & Co., Philadelphia, to Charles Gregoire, Pittsburgh. They return the enclosed note, which was left with them. Mr. Samuel Anderson is still living. He was very much surprised that the note was unpaid and stated it had been paid by a Mr. Nesbit. They ask forgiveness for not taking any further steps in the case as they do not wish to annoy “this dignified old man and give him the impression that we doubt his assertion.” (1 page, in French with translation), 1813 Mar 3
