February 1694



Feb. 2.	1,316. William Blathwayt to the Attorney General. Instructing him to prepare a clause to be added to the charter of the Pennsylvania Company in order to prevent stock-jobbing. [Board of Trade. Trade Papers, 13. p. 95.]
[Feb. ?]	1,317. Additional proposals of the Pennsylvania Company. From the arrival of the first ship after the passing of our charter in the space of one year we engage to deliver twenty tons of pitch and tar, and in the next year forty tons, and in the successive year all that we can, which we believe will be a considerable quantity. If encouraged by the granting of a charter, we shall take care to provide workmen to draw the largest possible quantity at such a price as their Lordships shall think fit, we engage also to provide plank and timber, but we can say nothing as to hemp and flax, which need time to bring them to perfection. [Board of Trade. Trade Papers, 13. pp. 95–96.]
