I take the liberty of Enclosing you a Copy of the foederal Convention, and of the resolutions of our house upon the same subject. An attempt has been made to repeal the Port law, but it has been rejected by a very great majority who nevertheless seem disposed to amend it, in such a manner as to confine the restrictions to foreign vessels only & either to have but one Port at Norfolk or a great many. if the latter method is adopted I hope we may get one at Yeocomico.
