(Circular).
Office for Foreign Affairs, 11th April, 1785.
Sir:
I have the honor of transmitting to your Excellency herewith enclosed “A State of the Duties payable by Vessels of the United States of America in the Ports of Marseilles, Bayonne, L'Orient and Dunkirk.
An accurate knowledge of the duties payable in those Ports appears to me to be interesting & important to such of our Merchants, and others, as may have Commercial Business to transact in either of them.
I therefore submit to your Excellency's Consideration the propriety of having these tables reprinted & published in your State.
Most obedient & very humble servant,
No. 10.
