To Benjamin Lincoln

Treasury Department April 30th 1790

Sir

I have in a late report to the house of Representatives1 in substance proposed, what you mention in your Letter of the 15th Inst. respecting coasters.

There is also a proposition before the house, contemplating a provision for boats to secure the revenue against fraudulent practices; it will therefore be best for the present to wait the result.

I am   Sir   Your Obedt Servt

Benj Lincoln Esqr
