[D Sir p 45] [(87)] Boston June 11. 1794 M^r Cabot has mentioned to me that M^r Jay was inquiring relative to our Trade to Sweden & intimated that Government wanted to get from thence a parcel of Copper & Iron. I have two Vessels now going to Gottenburg & will import any Articles that may be wanted at the same advance a benefit as I shall get upon common Iron, if the Articles can be got ready in time to come in them. Should the Articles wanted not be prepared in time for those Vessels they may be prepared to come by some later Ones. — We have this day Letters from Jamaica informing us that the packet with the avis of Jan^y 3 arrived there May 9^th, in consequence of which all our Vessels were liberated. two of the masters whose Vessels were released write they to their Owners, & Letters from a good house there give the same information. — I congratulate you upon the report relative to your Department. Morris feels most full, I think, very much mortified, & his Constituents can not be gratified at seeing him placed so far in the back ground. — I rejoice also to find that Congress are up, & that their Session has closed so much better than there was reason to apprehend at some periods. — With Sentiments of respect I am Sir your Very hum Ser [text at bottom, partially illegible] Very hum Ser Stephen Higginson [marginalia at bottom, largely illegible]
