SIR: More than twelve millions and a half of dollars were this day offered for the loan of seven and a half millions. The rate at which the loan is taken, is eighty-eight dollars and twenty-five cents in money for each hundred dollars in stock. Your proposal for three millions of dollars of the loan, having been at this rate, has been accepted; but in consequence of the large surplus offered, it has been necessary to reduce the amount allowed to you to two millions one hundred and fifty-two thousand dollars. Upon completing the payment of this sum in the proportions and at the periods stated in the public notification relating to this loan, of the 30th of August last, you will be entitled to receive stock at the rate above-mentioned. If you shall desire, or any of the persons in whose behalf your proposal was made, to obtain the certificates of funded stock before the 15th of February next, the day on which the last instalment of the loan will be payable, it may be effected, by paying on any day fixed for the payment of an instalment, after the first, all the subsequent instalments; but interest will in such case be allowed only as if each instalment had been paid on the day fixed in the public notification of the 30th of August. You will be pleased, on receipt of this letter, to state to me the Bank or Banks in which the money will be paid; and if more than one, the precise sum payable at each; and on or before the 15th of October, will furnish the Cashier or Cashiers of such Bank or Banks, with the names of the persons in whose behalf your proposal has been made, and the sums payable by each. The commission of one-eighth per cent. will be paid from the Treasury, after the payment of the first instalment on the 15th of October next. I am, respectfully, sir, Your obedient servant, W.
