Letter from William B. Lewis to William W. Corcoran, 1842 January 31
Washington 31 Jany 1842
My dear Sir,
I was informed this morning by Mr. Riggs that you had gone to New York, and, hoping that a letter would reach you before you left for Washington again. I write you a few lines for the purpose of troubling you with a small commission. You will oblige me therefore, if you willl have the goodness to ascertain, and get a statement to that effect in writing from some of the Wall Street Brokers, as what discount Tennessee money is selling - as, in other words, the difference between Tennessee and New York money.
Your attention to this, should you read it in time, will very much oblige me.
Truly yours,
Wm. B. Lewis
