Credit Side Annotation

Line 37 - In a letter of 20 March 1787, John Hopkins, commissioner of Continental loans for Virginia, advised GW that he had paid on GW's account  "the sum of Fifty pounds" to James Buchanan, treasurer of the James River Company. Hopkins enclosed a receipt for the payment, which was for GW's "subscription to the James River Company," and asked GW for repayment of that sum. On 25 March, GW thanked Hopkins for advancing the sum to Buchanan, and wrote in part: "Your letter, with Mr Buchanons rect, is the first intimation I have had of the Company’s call on the Members for a dividend of their subscription. In the present instance I happen to be provided, and send the money with my sincere acknowledgments to you for the advance of it . . ." See John Hopkins to GW, 20 March 1787 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 5, page 98)]; see also GW to John Hopkins, 25 March 1787 [Rotunda | Founders Online | Print (Confederation Series, Volume 5, pages 104-5)].
