To Thomas Jefferson from James Maury, 16 March 1793

From James Maury

Liverpool, 16 Mch. 1793. He encloses this month’s price current at Liverpool, which remains closed to foreign wheat and flour. He lately corresponded with Pinckney on whether the irregularity of American sea captains “in furnishing the particulars required in your Instructions of the 26. Augt. 1790” requires government intervention and was advised to mention it to TJ, of whom he requests instructions. He asks for three sets of the laws of the United States for his consular agents.

RC (DNA: RG 59, CD); 2 p.; in a clerk’s hand, except for signature, internal address, and part of complimentary close by Maury; at foot of first page: “Secretary of State to the United States of America Philadelphia”; endorsed by TJ as received 1 May 1793 and so recorded in SJL. Enclosure: Price current of American produce at Liverpool, 11 Mch. 1793, with subjoined extracts from Lloyd’s list of quotations for stock, exchange with Paris, and gold and silver, 8 Mch. 1793 (printed form in same; signed by Maury, with prices and comments entered in a clerk’s hand).
