FEBRUARY 4, 1806.

To the Senate of the United States: 

I now transmit the letters desired by the resolution of the Senate of
January 20 so far as they exist in the offices, to wit: 

Extract of a letter from the Department of State to Mr. Eaton, May 20, 1801.

The letter from Mr. Cathcart to Mr. Eaton dated Leghorn, June 15, 1801, is not in the offices, but the substance of it is supposed to be recited in those of Mr. Cathcart to the Secretary of State of August 15, 1802, and July 2, 1801, extracts of both of which are transmitted.

The letter of Mr. Eaton of September 5, 1801, supposed to be that intended by the Senate, as it answers their description.  There is no letter of his of September 15.

Extract of a letter from William Eaton to the Secretary of State, December 13, 1801.

Extract from Captain Murray’s letter of August 18, 1802.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Cathcart to the Secretary of State, August 25, 1802.

Extract of a letter from Mr. Morris to the Secretary of the Navy, March 30, 1803.

The letter from the Swedish admiral to Hamet Bashaw designated in the resolution of the Senate is not in possession of the Executive.

The extracts above mentioned give the whole matter contained in the respective letters relating to Hamet B. Caramalli.  The parts omitted are on subjects entirely foreign to what concerns him.

To the House of Representatives of the United States: 

Sundry letters relative to Hamet Caramalli, in addition to the documents which accompanied my message of January 13,[35] having been sent to the Senate on their particular request, the same are now transmitted to the House of Representatives also, as the same subject is before them.

TH:  JEFFERSON.
