Bank of the State of Tennessee

Knoxville March 7th, 1832

Dear Sir,

Your letter of the 1st instant came duly to hand, and would have received earlier attention had I been in better health. On the 4th March 1825, the Principal Bank obtained a Judgment against you in Hawkins County for $3,249-of this judgt. There has been paid into Bank, on account of Principal and interest the sum of $1,595 = towit, $150:= by Hugh Brown Esq. on the 7th of May 1825 and $1,445:= by John A. McKinney Esq. on the 4th of June 1830-at what time the payment was made to Mr. McKinney I know now, but his receipt will show. I do not know at what time the judgment was obtained against you by the Branch Bank at Jonesborough, nor do I know the exact amount of the Judgment but this information you can get by applying at the Clerks Office. On the 15th of October 1828, you paid to the Principal Bank on account of the Jonesborough Judgment & interest the sum of $2, 475:=, towit, $1,875:= in Jonesborough Branch Stock and $600:= the amount of dividends due you up to the 30th June1828, for which sum you have my receipt. The balance of the Judgmt. With interest are yet due. The amount of Stock owned by you was $2,500:= $1,875:= of which you applied as before stated, towards the payment of the debt due to the Jonesborough Branch-the balance say $625:= still stands in your name. The amount due you for dividends, up to the 31 December 1831, inclusive is $159.38 which you can drain and apply to the payment of the Jonesborough debt whever [sic] you please.

I am very respectfully your obt. Servant
