York Town 5 June 1778
Sir.
I laid Your favor of the 27th Inst. Before Congress the 3rd Inst. which being referred to a Committee & further considered Congress yesterday passed the Enclosed Act recommending to the several States a suspension or repeal of regulating Acts which it is hoped will have the effect you wish for.
I am with great regard

Humble Servant

In Congress; June 4th 1778
Whereas by a change of circumstances in the Commerce of these States, the regulation of prices lately recommended by Congress may be unnecessary, & the measure not being yet adopted by all the States, therefore- Resolved. That it be recommended to the legislature of the several States that have adopted it, to suspend or repeal their laws made for that purpose
Extact from the minutes
