Burton, Alexander, U.S. Consul in Cadiz: [ALS to Russian Consul]. Cadiz 1824, 17 November.
Ephemeral early US diplomatic correspondence, the consul, who had in fact just taken up post, informs his Russian counterpart that the US Consulate for Andalusia had now moved to a new address in Cadiz, Calle de Linares 109. Alexander Burton, of Pennsylvania, was consul in Cadiz from 1824 to 1856 (see J.F. Hopkins, The Papers of Henry Clay, IV (Lexington 1972), 117).
