| Abstract | Discusses mercantile matters; mentions the danger of having a supply of molasses destroyed by "our unnatural Enemies," and remarks that "it appears to me, our Commerce is at an end"; mentions the difficulty faced by British cruisers guarding the coast; informs them that all communication from Boston is stopped but that a few vessels slip away at night; remarks that when "the unhappy Battle of "Lexington" commenced, it "caused such Confusion that no Person was willing to purchase"; mentions that Hooper expects a "fortunate Adventure" with his vessel because "the Crops in Europe have fallen very Short"; expresses regret that there is a prospect of a prohibition on provisions with them, because Hooper planned to send shipments of flour to Philadelphia. | ||
