Sir

having lately sent a Memorial to the controuler General of finance, praying that he would permit me to Sell 180 Hogds. of Jamaica prize Sugars, which is now stored at Bordeaux, on paying the Same duties that french Sugars pay, which Memorial the farmers Genl. acquaint me must be recommended by your Excellency before it can be taken notice of. If therefore it would not be thought too presuming, I would ask the favour of a line from you to the Minister on this Subject, and have the honor to be very respectfully. Sir your most humble servant.
