opened on the way or its contents changed. To do
this would keep one man fllly busy for at least u

report suspected to the Custom Houses at these
ports, which will scarcely be done.
For several days past the rains have been exceed
torrents day and night causing good deal OF fever
and ague among the inhabitants. The road does nos
appear 20 suffered yet from these rains nor
have there been any lreshets on the line.
