Finding that the Law prohibiting the Trade from hence to St. Domingo has expired, I am induced to make inquiry, whether licences wou’d be granted to A Vessels bound to that Island Similar to those granted to A Vessels bound to any of the other Islands, In the West Indias. Excuse the liberty, & believe me, with unalterable Respt. & Esteem Yr. Most. Obt. &. very humle. Sert.
