Thanks Coxe, a statesman and economist, for a paper he sent him concerning various trade products. Asks a series of questions about exports and re-exports, European markets, and market discrimination against America. Makes reference to an export statistic on indigo, potash, and pearl ash provided by Adam Anderson, who published "An Historical and Chronological Deduction of the Origin of Commerce" in 1790. Madison may have been gathering information for a speech he gave on 30 January 1794 in which he discussed British re-exportation of indigo, potash and pearl ash. Signed in text as "Mr. Madison."
