30pp., 12mo, paginated 3-32 on wove paper. With additional fold-out table on laid paper, headed 'Statement of the several Banks in which the public money is deposited, shewing the greatest amount in each Bank at any one period since the 4th March, 1811, and also the amount deposited in each Bank on the 30th September, 1811.' Lacking the title-leaf. Disbound. Worn, lightly damp-stained and loose. With 1851 blind-stamps of the Manchester Free Library. The volume consists of correspondence by Albert Gallatin, Secretary to the Treasury, with letters to him from representatives of banks. The first letter, 8 January 1812, addressed to 'The honorable the Speaker of the House of Representatives', is a covering one, in which Gallatin states that is transmitting 'a statement of the several banks in which the public monies are now deposited, shewing the greatest amount that has been deposited in each bank at any one period since the 4th day of March, 1811, and also the amount deposited in each bank on the 30th of September, 1811'. The first of the letters that follow, addressed to 'John Steele, Esq. Collector, Philadelphia', is dated 25 February 1811. The last letter, 2 August 1811, is addressed to 'Felix Warley, esq. President of the State Bank, Charleston.' The item would appear to be the original of documents reproduced in the American State Papers (1832) and Debates and Proceedings in the Congress of the United States (1853).
