Dr. Sir:

We have imported in our Boat which was lost on our Coast about 80 stand of small Arms, with Bayonets, Rings, and iron Ramrods complete. The public may have them, provided they will allow us the same advance we can get on other imported goods. We do not mean salt, but surely your Excellency will think with us, they ought to bring as much as rum, sugar or any other thing imported now, and we are told they are much wanted.
