RC (DLC); undated and unrecorded in SJL, but evidently written just before Coxe transmitted the return of exports (see Coxe to TJ, 1 Feb. 1791). Enclosures not identified.
The return of exports may have been enclosed in the above, for TJ sent it back to Coxe in a (missing and unrecorded) note which the latter acknowledged in his of 1 Feb. 1791. The return covered the period 10 Aug. 1789 to 30 Sep. 1790 and is printed in , Commerce, i, 23–34, as submitted by Hamilton to Congress on 15 Feb. 1791.
