R.P.O. 401810] [Right margin, written vertically: undecipherable July 9] the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States Hamburg 9^th July 1800 Sir, I have the honor to hand you the Accounts of Several Shipments of Arms made from this, by order of Rufus King Esq^r our Minister in England for the use of the United States. It is also by his directions that I hand you the enclosed documents, with a Copy of which he is also furnished. 7000 Stand of Arms Completed @ 6 $. 7/100 Hm 135.000. 8 63,500 Gun Flints 934.– Banco Marcs 135,934. 8 You will no doubt observe that these Arms come much cheaper than those made in America or England. even when the freight is added and the Expence of Insurance. I believe the Government might rely on having any quantity of them at the same rates, and perhaps even something lower. as hopes are entertained that the War in Europe draws to to its ends. Copper is here made of good quality and to any form. that for Sheathing Ships sells @ 31/100 p lb. American Weight the large bolts Nails Rudder pieces &c sell at 30/100 p lb Should there or any other objects here merit the attention of Government. So as either to advise purchase, or require more detailed information, it will give me great satisfaction to facilitate its views. With the greatest Respect Sir, Your most obedt Servt. signd Jos.
