To James Madison from James Maury, 1 November 1808

Sir,	American Consulate, Liverpool 1st. Nov: 1808.

I had the honor to write to you on the 17th. September.

A while past it was generally expected Cotton would have been much higher by this time and I cannot well account for its being as [i]t is: however the stocks in this Country now are so much reduced that the Consumers soon must either purchase or greatly curtail this branch [o]f Manufacture. I have the honor to be with perfect respect Your most Obedt. Servt.

James Maury
