Summary
Extract from Jefferson's letter. The Dutch bankers were sorely disappointed to hear the news that the Board of Treasury sent, namely that it will not be possible to pay upon the loans, nor even to make the interest payments. He has come to the city of Amsterdam to try to arrange matters so that there will not be a sharp formal protest.
