Sir

As the Time of having inserted in Our Newspapers the payment of the Intrest of the United States is approching, and we Still deprived of Any Letters of Congress. We take the Liberty to advice yoúr Excell y. of it, not doubting but yoúr Excell y. Will find the Necessity of Having Regularly the Intrest paid when due, in Order to Maintain the Credit of the United States. and as the Money in Oúr hands Exceeds far the Sum Required for the payment of the Intrest, We must beg your Excell y. to favoúr ús with the Necessary Orders for that Purpose. 1

We have the honoúr to Remain With trúe Consideration. / Sir / Your Excell s. Most Obed t. / Most humble Servants.
