A memorialist recounts zeal in stopping the transport of bad oats and damaged goods for the king's army. He details correspondence with Colonel Peirson praising his actions, and notes attempts by Bremen traders to resume shipments with dragoon support. He laments lack of formal backing from Hatton and Pownal.
