Long Letter on Wool Trade and Irish Import Policy
A reader proposes open commerce between Ireland and England to save the woollen trade. He argues existing laws fail, due to Irish Parliament reluctance, and urges mutual duties to level prices. He suggests permits for Irish manufactured goods and harmony between nations as the path to curb contraband. Also reports Newcastle Tyne navigation open to coal ships and frosty damage from Bywell ice break.
