Sir,

My brother Arthur Lee, not knowing of this opportunity, I take the liberty for him to enclose an attested copy of a letter from Germany, which may be of some importance to your province. The Fishing Act, as it is called, passed the House of Lords yesterday with an Amendment, which is, to restrain New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia from the right of fishing, as well as the four New England governments. The blanks in the bill restraining the trade of New Jersey, Pennsylvania, &c. are filled up. It is to take place the 20th of July next. Therefore all your products for foreign markets will no doubt be ship'd off before that time. You will be so good as to communicate the contents to the Honble. Matthew Tilghman, Speaker of the House of Delegates in Maryland, who will probably be in Philadelphia when this comes to your hands

The above intelligence may perhaps be of service if communicated to the public.
