June 29th 1808
Dear Sir
I send a list of 96 applications made subsequent to 1 May for permission to send vessels in ballast. Two of these being for taking passengers & not to bring property are not embraced by the law & ought not to have been included. I enclose a general recapitulation; and as it may be proper to adopt some general rules, will not expect a decision till we have waited on you to morrow according to your appointment.
Respectfully Your obedt. Servt.
