NATHANIEL EELS, Notary Public.

Savannah, April Sth. 1834.
To his Excellency Wilson Lumpkin, Governor,
Slate of Georgia.
Sir—ln cons irmity with the act of the Le
gislature, I have the honor to transmit you here
with, an exhibit of the condrimn of this Bank
on the first Monday in April, embracing the
con iticn of the Branch at Macon, made up on
the first day of April, togethei with the affirma
tions required by law.
'The item in the exhibit “ Notos of Baek of
Macon and cost of suit” ($.70) one hundred
and seventy dollars, is bad. On the hills and
notes in suit and judgment, and bills receivable,
amounting in the aggregate, to sixteen thousand
eight hundred and sixteen dollars and forty bine
cents, ($16,816 49-100) it is probable the
Bank will lose between five arid six thousand
d liars. These items embrace all the outstand
ing business of the Lank contained in this ex
hibit, all other assets of the oank are of the I
ffi'st character.
The sp< cie in the vaults of the Bank and the
balance due from the other Banks in this city,
are equal to four-fiths of the circulation.
I'i reviewing the business of the Bank from
t ie first of October last, it appears the amount
of specie returned to that day, was the smallest
amount the Bank has ha in its vaults at an
period since that r< turn was made.
I am, most respectfully,
Your obedient Servant,
S. B. P\ President
