Transcription	/ dup / New Orleans Septemb. [September] 5, 1814. Messrs Brown & Ives, Gentlemen, We have received Your esteemed favor of 8 July - We observe the danger with which you are threatened but trust it will not be realized. We heard by the last mail that the enemy had appeared before new Port & demanded a surrender and are very anxious to hear the result. Our situation here also grows alarming, 'tis said some British troops have landed at Pensacola & 4500 more expected & that an attack on this place is intended : 'tis to be regretted that our principal defence is mud, mosquitos & Climate - Jackson however, is at Mobile with 2000 men & we are glad to hear he has made peace with the Creeks; we shall also have considerable force in Militia & the 44.th regiment, now recruiting & probably, when it is too late, a force may arrive from Kentucky. Your Cotton we presume remains free from damage being in an excellent Store & as little exposed to risk as any store in the City : we mean particularly the 526 bales. We remain respectfully, Y.r mo. ob.t [Your most obedient] Servants, Talcott & Bowers Or.p.mail[?] Cotton 13 a 14 C.__ [?]. ---- 6 --------. --- yain[?] --- 10 -------..-----
