No 10.
My Lord;
I have the honour, to receive, your Lordship's favour, of the 19. October, inclosing a copy, of His Majesty's order in Council, to prohibit the exportation from Great Britain, of Gunpowder, or, any sort of Arms or Ammunition.
The most effectual measures, my Lord, in execution of His Majesty's commands shall be established for arresting, detaining, and securing any Gunpowder, or, any sort of arms, or ammunition, which may be attempted, to be imported, into this Province: unless the proper licence be produced, for the exportation of the same, from some of the Ports of Great Britain.
Pat. Tonyn
I have the honour to be with the greatest respect, &c, St Augustine 20. Janry 75
