I take the liberty of inclosing you the Act for the repeal of the prohibitory acts relative to America. The Bill rec’d the Royal assent Yesterday. There is another act in some degree of forwardness for taking away the necessity of certain documents that American Ships were required to bring. I hope it will be all that at present is necessary to remove the obstruction to mutual Intercourse betwixt the two Countries. It is said with some degree of Confidence that Mr. Hartley is shortly to pay you a Visit to settle a Commercial Treaty. I hope it will be effected to mutual satisfaction. I am indebted to you upon Ballance of the prisoners Account something considerable about I believe £140. I have not Time to night to send you particulars, but it is at your Command whenever you please to call for it. I hope you will forward the Act to America the first Vessells it may have a Tendency to remove Difficulties I am very sincerely Dear sir Yours most obliged Friend and Humble Servant
