I am in this case unless as propalately only exists, I am of opinion (with submission to the sentiments of the [undecipherable] [undecipherable: beforementioned] that a renewal) cannot [undecipherable: take] a [undecipherable] on the foregoing principles be permitted. I have the Honor to be with great consideration & respect / Gentlemen Your Ob^t Serv^t [Honble Board of Treasury.]
