Dear Sir
On a presumption that the information contained in the enclosed paper will be agreeable, I do myself the pleasure to send it to you. It certainly affords great reason to think that if the Embargo be continued, and vigorously executed, it will answer the End. Some measures should be taken to render it more effectual in this Port. With the Compts. of the Season I remain
Dear Sir Your Most Obt. Servt.
