One letter from Timothy Pickering to Carlos Martinez de Yrujo, Spanish Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States, dated February 24, 1797. Pickering wrote in his role as Secretary of State, in a matter related to ships and a treaty between Spain and the United States. "The Secretary of State takes the liberty to inclose the forms of sea-letters now given to vessels of the United States, one of which may be adopted and translated into Spanish, if the Chevalier de Yrujo has no form annexed to the copy of the treaty between Spain and the United States in his possession. The Secretary prays the Chevalier inform him on this point that the passports may be prepared without delay, as it will take some time to transport them to the distant ports in the United States. If the Chevalier will hae the goodness to cause a proper translation of the form he shall adopted to be made, the Secretary will be obliged.
