My Dear Child
M~ Ten Eyck on Wednesday last enquired / of me relative to the certificates mentioned in a letter from / you, I have written you two letters on the subject which / were sent by post, the senate have passed a Bill on that / Subject which will doubtlefs become a law. by which the / Treasurer is [directed] to pay all the certificates Issued / by the Treasurer and signed by Gerrard Banker. Those / given for specie Value and bearing Interest will be paid / the nominal sum for which they were given with the interest / which has accrued therein, those which were given and [that] / [which those for specie value are to be reduced to specie value / by the scale established by Law in 1781, and If they bear interest / the Interest is to be calculated on the specie value._ If they / are not presented for payment before the first day of / January next no Interest accruing after that day will be / paid_ It is not improbable that you may make some good / bargains in these certificates. I have therefore been ? given / the above particular detail to guide your conduct in any / contracts which you may make.__
I have requested Your sister to hire carriages or sleds / no farther than to your house, presuming that you could / procure such as Colo: Hamilton may want and at a / cheaper rate. pray afsoon as they arrive to send for such / as they may want_ My Love to Sally and the children /
