Geo W. B. Spooner
Comr of Revenue
Sir
At the time I transmitted to your office an acct of Merchants Licenses issued in my District for the last year ending the 1st May 1810, I had not compared lists with the Sheriffs receipts.
Upon doing so since I find the above was received but not noticed in my statement to you, this omission was owing to a prevailing practice among the merchants to rest satisfied with the Sheriffs receipt for the Tax, not deeming it necessary to trouble themselves to apply for a License at the stated periods. I make a point of calling on every one who does not call on me, and thereby remedy this evil. But at the intervening periods this cannot be done and consequently the list not exactly corrected untill compared with the Sheriffs receipts.
I am respectfully your Obt
Geo W. B. Spooner
