Source
31st May 1764

A letter from the Customhouse at Lancaster reporting on trade between England and the Isle of Man, in response to commands from 18th instant. The writers indicate minimal direct trade from their port, note that vessels bound for Africa call at the Isle of Man for goods imported from Holland, and suggest that Liverpool and Whitehaven ports would have better information about duties and imports.
