J. Barnes’ Remarks on his general a/c. with Genl. Thads Kosciusko.



Be it remembered, That the sett of exchange for £200 sterling dated 25th. July, Purchased of Smith & Riddle, & therewith charged to his debit—$1,087.99—was returned 20th Nov. protested for non payment with expenses thereon, by Messrs. Baring Brothers, & Co.—Amount £3.9.6. Sterling.

That an accommodation on said returned sett of £200. took place—and said Smith & Riddle transmitted J. Barnes—John Mutton & Co’s sett of exchange dated Richmond, 29th. Nov. on Messrs. John & James Dunlop—London, including 15 per cent damages, &c as per estimate in sterling Amount for £234—which sett was, on the 12th Dec’r. through favor of J. Monroe, Esq. transmitted by J. Barnes to Messrs. Baring Brothers, & Co. London—for the sole use of Gen’l. Thads Kosciusko—exclusively—and in lieu of the above £200 sterling—sett returned—protested.

Under these circumstances, no alteration becomes necessary, with reference to John Barnes’s statement of his a/c. with Gen’l. Kosciusko up to 26th Nov. 1816. which includes said £200 or $1,087.99—E.E.

for the difference on the renewed sett for £234 St’g.
in lieu of the one protested and returned   200 —say £34.00.00. st’g.
will finally be adjusted by Messrs Baring & Co. & after deducting their expenditures thereon, protest. Comm’s postage, &c as per their a/c.  3. 9. 6.
Leaves a balance of £30.10. 6. st’g.8

in favor of the Genl which at the current exchange, say 12½ per cent. equal to $15261100—as some atonement for his disappointment—nor has J. Barnes made any charge, either on the returned sett for £200, or on the one of £234. transmitted in lieu thereof:—

Of course, no other reference need be applied to the general account current up to the present date.—apparent balance in favor of the subscriber,

Errors Excepted,

   $812. as per a/c. Rendered.
