Title

Translation of the Passport of Baron De Carondelet.

Description

"I grant free and safe passport to the Cherokee Indian, called Richard, to go to his nation, with a person of the name of Deraque; from whence they may return by such ways as they may find most convenient.
I order the commandants of the posts, by which they may pass, not to molest them, but, on the contrary, to give them what assistance they may stand in need of.
Signed with my hand, and sealed with my seal, and countersigned by the underwritten Secretary for his Majesty, in this Government and Intendency. In New Orleans, 28th July, 1792."
