I will immediately transmit a copy of it to the Amerⁿ. Gov^t. It is not in my power to express any decisive opinion upon the subject, but I think it by no means improbable that we may be desirous to become Purchasers of at least some part of the Stores in question. If the Governor or some other Person in Jamaica is authorised on your part to treat with the Agent we may send there the delays of a correspondence between Philad^a. and London will be avoided. With perfect Respect &c &c (R. King.) L^d. Grenville. [Copy] M^rs. Crew to M^r. King. M^rs. Crew presents her Compliments to M^r. King and in answer to the Enquiry contained in his Note dated yesterday, has the honor to acquaint M^r. King, that the articles of Ordnance Stores which have been removed from S^t. Domingo to Jamaica are composed partly of English manufacture & partly of foreign Construction. M^rs. Crew is unable to find a Specifi- cation of those articles which are of foreign make or of those which [strikethrough: were] furnished from England; but he can say with certainty that the light 6 pounder brass guns are of English manu- facture.
