The goods were sold at cost.
I am also endorsed on a note for two hundred thirteen dollars and ten cents, which falls due 24th of this month, and which I shall have to pay.
This note was given by Lewis for the purpose of raising money to fit out Mr.Paul, on his mission to England.

I was promised that the money should be here to meet it.
I have heard nothing from Lewis or this business since, and as I understand you are the agent, I must look to you to make provision to meet the note, and pay for the goods.

Good faith requires that all contracts by your agency be fulfilled.
Yours, Respectfully, CORNAL BAKER.
New York City, Dec., 1833.
* * * * * FROM MR.

L.A.SPALDING TO A.STEWARD DEAR FRIEND: In August last, Israel Lewis, accompanied by Rev.Nathaniel Paul called upon me and exhibited a power of attorney, signed by you as president of the trustees of the colony, authorizing Lewis to take loans, &c., for the benefit of the colony.
Feeling a deep interest in the progress of the colony, I agreed to become security with E.Peck, at the Bank of Rochester, for the payment of seven hundred dollars, which soon was raised by Lewis on the note, for the benefit of the colony.

I was in hopes to have seen you.
