 payable in two years. The above payable in currency where not otherwise indicated. Provisional Government $1500. payable in Silver in three years : $1000 of which is at 10 pr. ct. $500 of which at 7 pr ct. per annum. One thousand of the above was in Drafts on the board and $500 in an order on H. Campbell. I have said enough in my former letters by J. Meek Esq. as to the nature and necessity of the above loans to the Government. Wilson, Leslie, Beers & Abernethy's bond for $4437.83 for the Institute payable in July 1851 &c &c. I hold a house & Lot as security for the payment of $330 due Jan 1st 1849 This amt. I loaned in order to get a house for Bro Leslie to reside in as mentioned in a former letter the interest is the rent. The only other debt due the Mission except a few small items the exact amt. is not easily ascertained is that of Doct. Whitman for the movable property left at the Dalles amounting to $561.38 payable either at Vancouver after May 1st 1848 or in a draft in triplicate on the A. B. C. F. M. to be drawn 8th Sep. 1848. I have not yet decided which to take but probably it will be on Vancouver unless I can find a good chance to sell the Dft. for cash. The entire amount I think is $28308.60 Exclusive of the four hund. bush of wheat. The amount of property held by the mission is about as follows, Real estate at Oregon City House with Barn just erected $1000. This is the one I reside in. Another in which Broth. Leslie resides $1236. This house is the Force property which was not redeemed as was promised and pro- vided for. Parsonage at the Institute with 200 Acres $1380.08. There are yet a few items unsold which came from the Dalles One Waggon. 1 Yoke of Oxen and three inferior horses. Of books left by Bro. Gary 6 q. Rev. V vol 1 do. W.
