Your two letters of the 15 th and 21 st inst. have been recieved. on the withdrawing of one half of our circulating medium, the prostration of commerce produced by it, and the fall in the price of produce which suddenly ensued and is likely to be permanent, I became sensible that the debts which I had expected to pay from annual crops as prices had been, could no longer be met in that way.
