I have heard by Capt Bruce of the British ship Imogene that you are expected to bring teachers of the religion of the Pope. If this is true & they have really come, I say to you by no means allow any of them to land till I give you permission in writingthen you may do so. & if you act contrary to this order, this is the forfeiture, ten thousand dollars to ^be paid by you & by the ship Europa This is what I make known to you, for their practices are taboo (forbidden) within the dominions of my king; but if you have not brought the said persons, you are at liberty to enter the harbor without any obstruction.
