I call’d the Directors at 9 oClock this Morning and by the enclosure to the Treasurer with the Post Notes also sent him you will see that your application for a further Loan of twenty thousand dollars has been complied with; and I have no doubt that you will send forward a Treasury Warrant indorsed by the Secretary for the Amount...

7To Alexander Hamilton from Thomas Willing, 24 February 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
I have had this day the honor of your’s inclosing yr. power of Substitution on behalf of Mr. Church. At present the Sale of Stock, & indeed every other Money transaction is nearly at a stand. The Produce of the State, & the Sale of Bills of Exchange will alone command it, untill we receive a Supply from Sea. Mr. Constable has inform’d me of the purchase he had made of 20 Shares, & when they...

9To Alexander Hamilton from Thomas Willing, 22 March 1790 (Hamilton Papers)
The scarcity of Money has produced a stagnation in every kind of business, beyond any thing I have known—the few who have the command of Cash here, have turn’d their Eyes to Bills of Exchange—these have got as low, as 45 nay even to 42½ ⅌ Ct. & untill Exchange shall rise considerably, I dont expect to see any demand for Stock, or Public Certificates. A Single Share has been sold day by day, at...
