I had the pleasure to receive your kind Letter of yesterday, this day at 10 o’Clock.

The Collector has furnished the List of Names of those who have duties to pay between this and the first of May, and our Directors have...

I received your Letter by the Express on fryday Morning, previous to which I had been relieving a few by purchases of Stock upon the Strength of the second extention of fifty thousand Dollars At Noon I went into the Market, but the applications were so numerous & so vastly beyond my expectation, I found it necessary to declare I could take but very small sums from each.

I have delayed answering your very kind Letter of the 24th till I could have a more ⟨detailed⟩ knowledge of what was going on. Col Duer tells me he has however written you in the mean while. Every Interest is rushing by the phalanx of opposition with our Legislature to grant them a Charter —and it is impossible yet to judge whether they will carry their point or not. The Committee have...
