Dear Sir

I arrived at 4. PM
on Saturday. Yesterday deposited
Eight Thousand Dollars to the
cr of the Treasurer - in Bank
of Mobile -

Today will set a
definite answer in relation to
negotiating the Bonds. I entertain
no doubt however about getting
one hundred Thousand dollars
from each Bank. upon the
Condition however that [Iron? June?] Bonds
are to be issued in pursuance to the
ordinance of the Convention - I would
Suggest that they be dated 1st April.
it being more Convenient for the Int to
be due at the first of a Month - Mr Sch
roeder gives this as his opinion Respectfully
Edmd Hamilton
