Hundred and sixty Five pounds Two shillings and Six pence Being

Your Excellencys Most Obedient Humble Serv^t

[Gen^l Roberdeau's Obligation]

Whereas I have settled an Acco^tt of this date with the Bald Eagle
Company, connected also, with an Interest Acco^tt calculated on the
several payments and taken assurances from Nathaniel Owings and
John Cockey for two fifth parts of the amount, estimated at the
value of Gold, or so much of the Emission of forty for one as will
purchase gold to the amount.
For the regulation of which I hold myself accountable to them
for a discount of such depreciation as shall appear in the several
stages of said Acco^tts on the scale of the Calculations Issued by Con-
gress for the payment of public Debts taken in connection with the
value of gold at the time payment is made, as I look only for the
intrinsic value of a just demand, or so much paper money of the
Emission of forty for one warranted by Congress as will purchase
gold to the amount.
Baltimore County Jan^y 22^d 1781
