| Title | Thomas Randall to Henry Knox on shares and financial matters |
| Date | 30 June 1791 |
| Author | Randall, Thomas (d. 1811) |
| Recipient | Knox, Henry |
| Document Type | Correspondence; Business and financial document |
| Content Description | Went to the bank and put his name down to subscribe to 67 shares in the National Bank at 25 dollars a share for a total investment of $1,675. Fully expects that Alexander Hamilton will forward "a further quantity of shares" and as soon as he does he will forward Knox Mr. Seton's certificate for the amount. Did this immediately "for fear more applicants might shut me out from this mode of remittance." Owes Knox $2 which he will remit when he discounts William Duer's note of $2,500. Just received the bill for $900, which he will forward to Joseph Peirce. Assures Knox that it is a good bill, since he personally knows the drawers. |
