The Blount Papers 115
William Blount to Thomas Blount
Rockingham Springs September 3d
. 1790
Herewith you will receve a Copy of a Letter by me written
to Mr
. John Hogg178 and a List of Certificates delivered to him by
Mr
. Ogden. You will observe that Mr
. [Titus] Ogden has endorsed
on the Back of the List £2932.9.4. This Addition was not made
by him and may be incorrect. The Comptroller in his List of
Certificates, meant for the same Certificates makes them amount
to £2924.11.4
I have determined that it will be best to have these Certificates
reissued at the Treasury and to draw the Mony for the one third
part agreeable to the Act commonly called the Certificate Act
that is to have Credit placed on our Note therefor—The other
two thirds to be considered the property of John G. & Thomas
Blount to dispose of as you Shall judge best and may be restored
to Mr
. Hogg for the purpose of making Exchanges for such as are
assumed or not as you please but I should suppose to continue a
part if not the whole in his hands for that purpose untill after the
Rise of Hillsborog
. Superior Court for about that Time the
Sheriffs will generally come in to settle will be best—He is re-commended
by Major Tatom.—[2] I shall suppose the Comptrol-ler's
List and Addition are correct and shall make Settlements
accordingly with the people in whose Names the Certificates
are issued—The £2924.11.4 at 4/ amount' to £584.18.3 you had
then best pay back to Haywood 15.1.9 and the Balance that
will remain due on our Note will be the exact Cost of the
Certificates belonging to J. G. & T. Blount that is the 2/3ds
. Part of
the whole.—Let the Certificates be reissued in my Name and be
careful not to indulge the Clerk of the Treasury in reissuing
them in too large Sums lest it should render even exchanges
difficult—From What I said to Mr
. Hogg it may be that he may
have had a part or the whole of these Certificates reissued at the
Treasury without drawing any Mony before you reach Hillsboroff
.
or a part of them only in this Case you will have the Balance
exchanged as above and either Case you are to consider the re-issued
Certificates in my Name as the property of J. G. & T.
Blount and dispose of them as you shall judge best but it is to
be observed upon their being exchanged for such [3] as are
