A Patriot correspondent notes the Customs Service Act limits entrants to ages 16 to 40 and requires documents on admission to prove compliance. The letter argues baptism is not a barrier as shown by a Baptist minister's son serving as a landing-waiter in London, suggesting a birth register could suffice.
