proper to remark that some of these notes have been wholly and others partially paid off in the paper currency of this state by acts of legislature

estimate for the seven years half pay
General Treasurer of the state has issued his notes on interest
remains doubtful to me from the manner of expression in your letter whether you have received a return of said deceased officers made by the committee appointed by the legislature for finally liquidating and settling the invalid accounts
supposed to have been by them transmitted with the invalid return
subject of advances made by this state to the widows and orphans of the officers who died in the service of the United States on account of the seven years half pay
