Full Description:
Haldimand to Carleton. Quebec. Cryptic letter expressing his disquiet not only at suggestions by a person unknown for 'opening a free trade from this province with Vermont, for purposes I need not enter upon, as they are known to Your Excellency' but also other designs 'approved by the Company'. Respecting the free trade with Vermont 'strong disapprobation was expressed by [name in cipher] from a just apprehension that it would at once discover their inclination to a reunion and draw upon them the resentment of Congress'. Says he 'shall continue to supply [blank] with money to defray the expense of procuring and forwarding intelligence to New York and this Province'.
