From the Fable 5.1 test run, checked by Opus

SUMMARYFrom the Fable 5.1 test run, checked by Opus (Nov 4, 2026). New receipts for the Ayiti to Louisiana chain; corrects P167.
RECORD, French Louisiana as a slave colony on paper: Vincent Gray (U.S. consul, Havana) to Madison, 15 March 1803 (Founders Online), postscript: he saw a license "granted by General Victor, as Captain General of Louisiana," dated "Helvoetsluys 29th. November 1802," "for the admission of two Cargoes of Negroes into that Colony," in force until 15 days after Louisiana is handed to France. Verified.
CORRECTION to P167, the Vine and Olive colony (1817): Blaufarb, Bonapartists in the Borderlands (Univ. of Alabama Press): the Napoleonic officers "sold their land shares to speculators" to fund the Texas venture (Champ d'Asile, 1818) and left; the colony was left to "French refugees from the Haitian slave revolt." So the Gulf settlers were largely people pushed out of Ayiti, with the officers a minority (Pattern; the grantee rolls in the book's appendix are the Record to re-read). Verified against the book summary.
RECORD, to check before use: Act of 28 Feb 1806 (2 Stat. 351), Congress cut U.S. trade with Ayiti two years after independence (govinfo.gov, not yet opened by us). The Act of Independence signed in the name of the Indigenous Army at Gonaïves (already P021/P066).
OPEN, held: no document yet ties Comegys (Cairo) or Overton and Jackson (Memphis) to Napoleon or the Description de l'Égypte; the pull is the Comegys and Overton papers (matches P179 Open).
TO VERIFY: the Henry Adams (1889) line on what the U.S. owed Ayiti's fighters; quote only after reading the page (Gutenberg ebook 70858).
