Sir:
With the greatest pleasure I enclose you the requested Copies of two of the Acts passed by our Legislature in their last Sessions highly essential in their respective intents to our national importance, viz,
“An Act to authorise the United States in Congress Assembled to regulate trade from the British West Indies,” and “An Act for investing the United States in Congress assembled, with a power to levy, for the use of the United States, certain duties upon goods imported into this State from any foreign Port, island or plantation.”I perfectly coincide in sentiments with you, therefore, & especially upon your promise of a reciprocal communication, you may depend that I shall most chearfully convey you any intelligence on that subject that shall arrive from Europe, which I may imagine you had not received.
