herewith inclose, specifying the quantities
and values of all Japanese goods landed
from said vessels, and by whom entered,
and also showing what goods were adj
mitted free and those upon which duty was
paid.
The statements referred to would seem

goods brought by each vessel and to
whom the goods upon which no duties had
been paid were delivered.

mitS for delivery of goods are only issued
