No. 16.]

Daniel Webster, Esq.,
Secretary of State:

Sir:

* * * * * * *

Mr. Brinsmade, the commercial agent of the United States to the Sandwich Islands, lately arrived here. He is intrusted with letters from the King of those islands to the sovereigns of Great Britain and France, of purport similar to that of which he was the bearer to the President. I introduced him to Mr. Addington, under secretary of state, who appeared to take an interest in his errand.

* * * * * * *

I am, sir, with the highest respect, your obedient servant,

Edward Everett.
