Prussian Office Washington D.C. April 23 rd 1838
James L. Coleman, Commissioner of Prussian No. 5.
Enclosed you will find the several accounts referred to in my Letter of the 12 th instant — the one in the case of Adolph Jenner. Then sent you a receipt.
Your payments for note previous were also under previous to the 31 st of March last.
I am at a loss to know how the Act of Congress of April 6 th last, affects the claim of Frederick Martiny. The interest claimed is for Sept. 37. & March 38 — the instructions of the Prussian Minister here is in these words "The Minister you will make no payments when the Prussian claim is, has remained due for the term of eight months after the same became payable." If I am in error in supposing that the Prussian claim is the 4 th Sept. due now.
Transferable

Transferred to Washington before the 4 th . they will. I cannot be set right too soon for I have already paid such charges. Since the receipt of the instructions - the instructions seem to me too plain to admit of doubt. May you will have the goodness to refer me on this subject sincerely.
Very respectfully yours. Respectfully.
