Bank of Columbia certificate No 1314. for 46 shares in that bank @ 100. D Jan. 10. 1817.
As you think a special power will be necessary for you to recieve the interest of the US. stock, I will ask the favor of you to send me the proper instrument to enable you to recieve it, which I will sign. I give you this trouble, because the peculiar forms of the treasury are unknown to me. I recieved in due time your account with Genl Kosciuzko to Nov. last; balance in your favor 812.D. and omitted to acknolege it, because I am little familiar with these things, and have so unbounded confidence in your exactness & integrity as to be entirely satisfied all is right. I salute you with affectionate esteem & respect.
