Dear Sir As I am now returning soon to America I wish much to know if I can depend upon some good large convenient Ship from Lisbon that may be going in a month or six weeks to the United States & which will in your opinion be sufficiently convenient for me to go in. We have nothing new here except a report that the combined fleets are gone to Jamaica which at present wants confirmation -- a little time will show -- I will thank you to send the inclosed by a different vessel from that my last Dispatch went in & to believe me With respect & regard always Dear Sir Yours Truly Charles P Pinckney July 14: 1805 Madrid To William Jarvis Esquire To William Jarvis Esquire American Consul in Lisbon
