James Taylor to the Governor Nov. 15, 1805

In conformity to the Proclamation issued by the Lieut-Governor 21st of Sept. last, I have attended to the duty as Superintendent of Quarantine, and as there was no danger of any infectious disease at this season, I thought it necessary to withdraw the Publication. Inclosed you have a list of all the vessels that have arrived from any suspected Port, with the printers acc't, &c. I had directed the Commandant of the Fort to stop all vessels from the said Ports, and employed a Doctor to visit them and make report to me of the Health of the crew, &c. Certificates have been granted to each before they were admitted to an entry at the Custom House.
I have the satisfaction to inform you that there has not occurred one instance in which it was necessary to perform Quarantine. You will make what compensation you think proper for the services.
I am, &c.
