Five Insurance Baak, 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.
