Sir.&#13;
&#13;
	I laid Your favor of the 27th Inst. Before Congress the 3rd Inst. which being referred to a Committee &amp; 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.&#13;

							Henry Laurens&#13;
							President&#13;
							Of Congress&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
In Congress; June 4th 1778&#13;
		Whereas by a change of circumstances in the Commerce of these States, the regulation of prices lately recommended by Congress may be unnecessary, &amp; 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&#13;
						Extact from the minutes&#13;
