Illinois ) SENATE. (HthAssem. Legis. £ 2d Session. DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO IN THE MESSAGE OF THE GOVERNOR, AT THE OPENING OF THE SESSION OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY. Transmitted to the House, December 13, 1839. \ SPRINGFIELD: William Walters, Public Printer. 1839. [ 2 ] t DOCUMENTS. Springfield, December 21, 1839. Sir : I have the honor herewith to transmit to the Senate a statement from the Secretary of the Board of Fund Commis¬ sioners, showing the amount of drafts paid by the Fund Commissioners from the 24th day of December, 1838, marked A, together with copies of the contracts for loans referred to in my message of Wednesday last, except document referred to marked C, which was to have been furnished me by the State Bank, and which has not yet been done; as soon however as it is procured it shall be transmitted. Document marked D. referred to, being a copy of contract for $500,000, between John Reynolds, agent for the State, and Anson H. Bangs on be¬ half of the Farmers’ and Mechanics’ Bank of Onondaga, State of New York, located at Fayetteville, is superseded by the accompanying do¬ cument marked D. The voluminous character of those documents and the necessity of carefully preserving the originals, prevented me from furnishing them to your honorable body at the time 1 transmitted my message. 1 have the honor to be, Sir, Your most obedient servant, THOMAS CARLIN. To the Honorable the Speaker Of the Senate. Fund Commissioners’ Office, Springfield , 2 6th November , 1839. Gov. Thomas Carlin, Dear Sir: You will please find herewith enclosed the statement made out, I trust, agreeably to your request and wishes, as far as docu¬ ments in this office furnish the means. Not having received any accounts from the Bank of Philadelphia and New York, respecting the payments made by them for interest due on State Bonds in July last, I have not attempted to furnish any interest account. The Fund Commissioners will meet here in time to have prepared by the meeting of the Legislature, a full and detailed report of all the vari- LIBRARY . UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS 4 ) [ 20 ] ous transactions they have had with the banks of the eastern cities and banks of this State, and also an account of all the incidental expenses necessarily incurred during their absence from the State. The Fund Commissioners have made arrangements for paying the in¬ terest becoming due (on State Bonds heretofore sold by them,) on the 1st January, 1840, and payable in Philadelphia and New York. They have requested me to inform you that no provisions had been made by them to pay the interest on the canal bonds, as they were informed by Co¬ lonel Mather that the Canal Commissioners had provided or would pro¬ vide funds for that purpose. 1 have the honor to be, Most respectfully, your ob’t serv r t., WILLIAMSON GATEWOOD, Secy * i 5 [ 21 ] STATEMENT—Continued.

John Reynolds, Dear Sir: Since you have left I have seen the law in relation to small bills, and am satisfied that it would be inconsistent with your laws for the Governor to ratify the contract, and you may hereby consider that part of it void. Since your departure, Mr. Tillson has returned. I am at present dissatisfied with his course, and if he does not do as I think he ought to, he cannot have the funds; if he should not, I am ready to take your bonds as soon as you can deliver them. I wish you to write to me in relation to our affair at Fayetteville. Your friend, A. H. BANGS. i. ' Hu /I 311 1 ’ \> - y ■: ■ i A ' it
