General

Letter, unsigned, to Arthur Moore. Received yours of 10 Dec. Mr. Dolliffe on want of saltfish in Mexico. Propose via articles 23 and 24 that our friends not be at mercy of SS Directors. Racial distinction in Mexican clothing cruel; Bon says imported clothes too costly for cheap labor; Spanish economics. King had Reservations papers from Grimaldo 3 months ago yet does nothing while other negotiations with Great Britain. Eon: it is question of French prevailing over English at Court. Get Duke of Newcastle to press Stanhope. SS troubles led Stanhope to propose conference with Council of Indies about Assiento for Negroes. Break between French and Portuguese Courts good for Great Britain. Marquis de Lede dead. Lord Huntington on tour. Yours of 17th December. SS Directors re Mermaid and Nonesuch. Eon complains of SS supercargoes. Assiento paper found showing King Philip made reservations of 5 pc on the annual ship and 10 pc on 2 licensed ships for Queen's use, supporting intention for their use after her death. Service to Mr. Thorowgood and Mr. Dolliffe
