| Transcript | ansd [answered?] 3.8.67 [3 Aug 1867?] Augusta Geo [Georgia?] 1st Jul 1867 My Dear Wm. [William?] John I enclose you Manders & Wrights First of Exchange on Robert Lockhart & Dempster of Liverpool for Two Hundred and Eighty eight pounds thirteen shillings sterling payable on demand which you will oblige me by collecting and holding subject to further orders. the second of Exchange I shall forward by next steamer. I have yet a small lot of Cotton unsold in the hands of L & P which I have instructed them to sell forthwith. and so soon as I receive the Sales shall draw on them in your favour for the amount. I wish you would give me your opinion with regard to investing it on your side of the water. I could do much better with it here. but in the present unsettled state of the government of this country I have no confidence in it. and no improvement can be looked for so long as it is governed by the fanatical Radical party now in power. Business is at, and has been at a completer stand for the last two months. and never during a long residence here have I seen money so scarce. previous to the war we had some Banks representing a capital of six or seven Million. at present our National Bank Capital Four Hundred Thousand Dollars. I shall write you more fully in my next. the last account I had from Mr Campbell he and Mrs C. were in good health. your friends in this City are all well. but complain greatly of hard times. and I fear we have not seen the worst. Very Truly Yours Harper C. Bryson. |
