Gentlemen
As we observe by your Message of the 25th that you admit the
Propriety of some of our Remarks on the Inspection Law com-
municated to you the 18th Inst:^t and that you are Willing to pay
due regard thereto in framing a New Bill, We shall, in order to
prevent the session being protracted to such a Length as it might be,
were the two Houses to enter into a dispute by Messages about the
expediency of the Several alterations which both we and you have
mentioned as proper to be adopted in a new Inspection Law, Com-
municated to you in a few Words our Opinion with regard to the
Alterations proposed. Altho we are Still of Opinion that it would be
for the Advantage of the Planter to Shorten the time for closing the
Inspection in the manner we proposed, as by this Regulation the
Damage attending a Winter Passage would be prevented, the Ex-
pence of Freight consequently lessened, the Benefit of the European
Markets Secured, and of Course the Produce of the Tobacco the
Sooner Answerable to the orders of the Consignor, however should
You upon mature Consideration choose to extend the time to the
2Oth. of July we consent that the 20th of July should be Subsituted
in the Place of the last of June If You have any reason to think that
by leaving out the Seventy Second and Seven following Sections or
the One hundred and thirty eighth, Any Art full designing Creditors
may take the Advantage of an honest and unwary Debtor it is our
own desire that either those Sections may be continued or that some
Proper Clause may be inserted in a new Bill that will effectually
prevent the Success of such villainous attempts as our Sole design
in Leaving them out was to Shorten the Law as much as Possible,
