Kinder & Company, see accompanying letter of Thomas Bakewell, Vol. I, 

 p. 196, and letter of William Bakewell, his uncle, ibid., p. 199. Laurence 

 Huron was a French importer, resident in Philadelphia; for his award in 

 the disputed Dacosta claim, see Vol. I, p. 168. At this time Benjamin 

 Bakewell's importing business was in the hands of his creditors, but his son, 

 Thomas Bakewell, was still employed in the office.
