Arundel Street
19th September 1837.

Dear Sir,

I have to apologise to you for having stated this morning that the favor of your note <1> of yesterday (inclosing Mr Cutler’s <2> declaration, and the Certificate of the late Rear Admiral Feilding’s <3> burial) had not then been received – It did arrive here this morning; but in the hurry of the business of the day it had got aside with other papers requiring attention and with which it made it’s [sic] appearance in less than half an hour after your departure.

The claim will be preferred to the “Hope” assurance office tomorrow, and it will accordingly take its data, (I presume,) from that day.

I am, very respectfully, Dear Sir Your most obedient & faithful Servant
John Stilwell.

H. F. Talbot Esqre
&c &c &c
