Fort William and Mary July 21st 1775
Sir,
Captain Barkley (at noon) gave me the inclosed paper, which I hope may effect a continuance of the boat fishery. You are sensible that I have not any powers to alter or direct in this matter, the execution of the Restraining Act, being committed to the Navy & Cusom house. I am &c.
