| Content Description | In reply to Knox's letter of that morning (see GLC02437.05193), De Jaudenes y Nebot and Josef Ignacio de Viar have enclosed the certificates on the same terms as he mentioned (certificates not included). They are happy to offer any service that is consistent with their public duty and private capacity. As the request complied with both, they fulfilled it willingly. Postscript says there was a blank spot on the certificate for the name of the vessel. This is in reference to a request from Moses Michael Hays for safe passage for the ship "Jefferson" (see GLC02437.05194). Docket marked "Private." |

| Additional Information | Josef de Jaudenes y Nebot (1764–before 1819) was born in Valencia, Spain, the son of Antonio de Jaudenes y Amat and Emilia Nebot. He was appointed the Spanish diplomatic representative to the United States in 1791. By 1794, he had married Louisa Carolina Matilda Stoughton, daughter of the Spanish consul in Boston, and settled in Philadelphia. His aspiration to become a full-fledged envoy to the United States was dashed in 1796, when the job was given to another, and he returned to Spain with his wife. He then served as quartermaster of the royal armies. |
