Most of their debts to artificers, master of vessels and wagoners, who depend only on this money for the support of themselves and family. In case Congress sends a supply of wheat, has chosen a safe place for storing it. Lack of wagoners. Question of a debt to a ropemaker. Desires printed certificates to give those who bring in accounts and cannot be paid. | ||
