9066. WEST INDIES, British.—
I think
that the trade with Great Britain is a ruinous
one to ourselves; and that nothing would be
an inducement to tolerate it, but a free commerce
with their West Indies; and that this being
denied to us, we should put a stop to the
losing branch. The question is, whether they
are right in their prognostications that we have
neither resolution nor union enough for this.—
To T. Pleasants. Washington ed. i, 563.

1786)
