Washington, Oct o 6. 1840
Sir —
You will probably recollect that when you came to act upon the papers in relation to the claim of the heirs of Col. de Cambray for bounty land, the signature & seal of the Consul of the U. States in Paris, France, was found to be omitted on the acknowledgment of the power of attorney from Count de Cambray to me — I wrote to the Consul and informed him of the omission, and suggested the propriety of his sending on, to be deposited with the papers in your office, a new authentication of the fact that Count de Cambray did make the acknowledgment in due form, — but that the paper had not been sealed and signed thro' inadvertence, and the hurry of business —
A few days ago, I received from the Consulate in Paris an authenticated Certificate of that fact, which I herewith transmit to you; and request that it may be filed with the other papers in the case.
With much respect,
Yr. Obedient Servant

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my Hand, and the seal of the said United States Consulate and agency of Claims, at Paris aforesaid, this 6 th August - A D 1840, and of American Independence the 65 th year
