*Note: The first image in this document set is an archival placeholder card (NBR11) indicating the microfilm page is "wholly or in part illegible" and no better copy could be located. The second image is a severely degraded microfilm scan of a letter addressed to James McHenry, dated Hartford, May 10. Beyond the addressee line and date, the body text is largely [undecipherable] due to the poor quality of the microfilm reproduction.*
