Honorable
Board of Treasury
Gentlemen
I take the liberty to lay before the Board the following extract, from a letter I have received from Mr Joseph Clay dated at Savannah January 20th 1787
[The following block quote is indicated in the original with quotation marks at the beginning of each line of text. There is no closing quotation mark]
I mentioned to you in some of my Letters that the money I lodged at Charlotte in No Carolina was in Charleston in the possession of a Mr Thomas Commander Russell and that I was at a loss whether to let it remain there or send for it here, as I presumed it would be ordered northerly the bringing it here was in my opinion unnecessary-------
I have the Honor to be &c.
