George Mason, Gunston Hall, writes to Col. Fitzgerald, Alexandria, Virginia, concerning goods sent to him aboard the Liberty, Captain Outram. Has been informed by Messrs. Wallace, Johnson and Mune that the duties have been charged to his account. If so, he assumes the goods have already been entered. Does not wish to accidentally enter them twice, as he would be charged twice the duty. Asks Fitzgerald to check into the matter for him so that he can pass on the answer to Mr. Lee and Col. [William] Deakins.
