JAMES SWAN. ALS. 1pp. 7" x 4 3/4". Paris. June 7, 1804. An autograph letter signed "Jam Swan" once at the end and "Swan" twice in the text. Swan wrote to his friend "Tristram Barnard" about travel arrangements: "..Mrs. Swan & Katy have concluded to go by Holland to pass two or three weeks with our acquaintance there, so that a passage from...is not necessary: besides the uncertainty when the Embargo would be taken off. Capt. Haley from Dieppe they could have gone by. The affairs at the French Commission. I push as fast as possible - but it will take time. Many thanks for the trouble you have taken. Mrs. Swan & daughters best regards to Mrs. B." The letter is in very fine condition with dark ink. An interesting letter by a fascinating yet tragic figure.
