Description
Connecticut, he hears, has granted the impost duty to Congress as soon as any twelve states shall agree to the measure; he inquires how many states, and which ones, have passed the Impost Act; need of such an Act to support public securities; urges the pressing necessity of Joseph Pennell's settling the marine accounts in Boston; asks Holten's opinion as to his proposal to discount the £40 due from Massachusetts to Messrs. John DeNeufville and Son, merchants in Amsterdam, against the sum due him from the United States on his advances for the frigates he bought in 1776 and 1777.
