Sir
Three of your Certificates No 15,711 & 15,712 for 400 dollars & No 15,713 for 700 dollars, dated the 13th Jan 1784, in favor of Mr John Noyes, are lodged in this Office by Mr Noyes, to draw the Interest — on comparing them with the Copy of your register I find No 15,711 & 15,712 for 820 dollars & No 15,713 for 825 dollars in favor of John Noyes, the dates and private Marks corresponding as these Certificates are brought by Mr Noyes himself, and there is not the least appearance of alteration in the Certificates. I conclude your Register must be erron in this instance — as I shall postpone paying the interest till I hear from you, I must request an early Answer. I am Sir &c [undecipherable]
