ftofore adopted may have contributed to
zshis resolution Oh your part. A recent
event to fchich-s ~ as unnecessary thai zee

for any others which in the present state

banks, so called, or both, if furnished to

you of your authority to pay to any per-

ed, that he may be here to receive the
notes of the banks indicated, at the
Treasury of the State, for the purpose
of converting them into funds which can
be used in New York in discharge of the
