Summarizes the state of trade between the United States and France, which both he and Charles Gravier, Comte de Vergennes, wish to expand; as of now, American trade is chiefly with Great Britain; reviews the staples America could export to France, whale oil and tobacco being the most profitable and the most desired by the French; records French complaints about the alleged disregard by American merchants of trade regulations the "tardy" administration of justice by U.S. authorities; Jefferson hopes that the control of the tobacco trade will be removed from the Farrmers General; if "reasonable conditions of commerce" cannot be reached with Great Britain and equitable trade is thus impossible, it may have behoove the United States to trade exclusively with France. |
