华盛顿在“中国皇后”号第二次（此次共有五只大商船）赴华贸易时，亲自开给美商蒂尔曼一张采购单。
When Chinese Empress (five big
merchant ships at this time)set its second
sail to China, Washington gave the American
merchant Tench Trlghman a purchase list,
at the end of which he added the following
notes:
"If the price is reasonable,you
can purchase according to this list. Otherwise,buy
what is asterisked. Mrs Washington wants
some beautiful white thin cotton, if you
can fint any."
