The amount of stock funded at the Treasury to 30th. September 1791, has been ascertained with accuracy, but at that time, many subscriptions had been made, which have not yet been adjusted, for want of proper powers of Attorney and other documents. It is therefore, probable, that on settlement of all the loans, the amount ⟨will⟩ be found somewhat different from what is now represented.

The sums funded at the several Loan Offices, it is presumed, are ascertained with accuracy; but as the loans had not been adjusted in all instances, when the returns were made, some immaterial differences will probably hereafter appear.
