Cy. f 1442654.17.8 We transfer to their credit in a new Account.

We have the pleasure to announce you, that we have pushed the undertaking for the Loan of

And thus there remain unengaged, but "   333000.–.–
To compleat the whole Sum of— f 3000000.–.–

We cannot help reverting with inexpressible Satisfaction, to the Resolution We took to launch this Loan upon the Market, at the only critical Moment success could have attended it, while that Success has been so necessary, to insure the punctual Discharge of the Engagements of the United States in Holland for some time to come, at a Period when Circumstances do not justify our holding out to you, any hopes of succeeding soon to effect a New Negotiation, and that it may become difficult with you, to make in time and securely, the needful Remittances, to preserve here unsullied, the needful Remittances, to preserve here unsullied, the Credit of your Government.

We are respectfully Sir!   Your most obedient and humble Servants
