Description

Excerpt from Correspondence, Between the Late Commodore Stephen Decatur and Commodore James Barron: Which Led to the Unfortunate Meeting of the Twenty-Second of March

Sir: Your communication of the 17th instant, in answer to mine of the 1sth, I have received.

The circumstances that urged me to call on you for the information requested in my letter, would, I presume, have instigated you, or any other person, to the same conduct that I pursued. Several gentlemen in Norfolk, not your enemies, nor actuated by any malicious motive, told me that such a report was in circulation, but could not now be traced to its origin. 1, therefore, concluded to appeal to you, suppos ing, under such circumstances, that I~could not outrage any rule of decorum or candor. This, I trust, will be considered as a just mo~ tive for the course I have pursued. Your declaration, if I under stand it correctly, relieves my mind from the apprehension that you had so degraded my character, as I had been induced to allege.
