WASHINGTON Novr 8: 1816.
SIR, In the statement of the American Naval Force upon the Lakes which I yesterday morning received from you at your Office in exchange for a similar statement at the same time delivered to you of the Naval Force of His Majesty, I observe that no return is made of any Force upon the Upper Lakes.
I shall be much obliged to you if you will have the goodness to acquaint me whether the Force upon those Lakes is comprehended in the return of that upon Lake Erie.
I have the honour to be with the highest consideration-Sir, Your most obedient humble servant
CHARLES BAGOT
The Honbl. JAMES MONROE
