Thomas Rotch

Dr Sir

You favor of yesterday I recd today 

I am under an obligation to you for the early

information on the subject of the draft

some time since I forwarded to Park & Carptenter

three Hundred dollars per Jas. W. Lathrop Esq.

and at present owe them the amt. 

of the draft, but shall be very willing to accept

it. It would be impossible to make 

specie payment I could pay it in the

best of our current paper, or if J,M, 

Baumber would select several banks I 

would in a short time procure the amount

in the paper of them banks. 

the bearer J. Hall spoke to Jno Saxton on the

subject of printing the memorials and from the

crowd in the store, I did not hear what

passed, on J. Halls returned. I shall got to him 

Jno. Saxtons if he has not already received

an answer. Yours Respectfully
