Summary
Mr. [ ] asks for a detailed description of American finance during the Revolution. Mr. Rendon desires to make his court aware of the indebtedness of America to the Mssrs. Morris. Mr. [ ] desires an exact plan of the present state of the bank, an account of the national debt, and the means of paying it, and the amount of annual expenses.
