New York June 11th 89 Gentlemen Nothing new has occur'd since my last, except the Senate's reducing Mollasses to 2 1/2 cents. And they hae taken off the draw back on N. Ed. and W. India Rum they have pass'd upon the bill, and it will tomorrow be sent to the House for their concurrence in the amendments, but how it will fare with us I can't pretend to say. The Bill for collecting the duties is before
us, but its so complicated and concerning which there are such various ideas,
that it will take a long time to bring it to an issue We have made but
small progress, and the first and great principles of what it may be, are not
yet settled in all respects it was agreed to day that all Goods in
foreign bottoms and goods from I am with great regard yours B. Goodhue
