St. Croix, May 25, 1772 . “… you can send me the Ballance [of your account] at your leisure. Rye flour will sell for ps. 7. a barrel here readily but the Duty is 25 ⅌ Ct. However we enter it as Corn Meal and give the waiter a fee, which hint you must give the Capt if you send any down, and tell him to see me before he enters.…” LC , in writing of H, Hamilton Papers, Library of Congress.
