Editorial Note

Date of clerical does not match date notated by archivist.

Albany Jan 6,
My dear Jennings
The American Trust Co. loans no money & can loan
none. This I know, and it would be as idle
as the time to subvert Mr Underwoods
Birth: 1797-03-07 Death: 1864-01-05
letter
Money is 10 per cent to 24 in New York on
the best business paper —
You must tell Gen Underwood that
it is impossible in such times to make loans
Your own
W.H.S
