Q. D 30 Under date Apl 30
1871 "Discount on currency
sold and sundry bills paid
$807.11." Why was such
an entry as that made in
that way? The expert here
says that this entry ap-
pears to have been made to
balance a shortage in the
cash account. What do you
think about that?

A. It is possible that was
at the time when I discon-
tinues keeping a currency
cash account. If it was so

rency on had that I sold
or transferred. I either sold
it at his order or transferred
it to the gold cash account,

the only explanation.

Q. Was there any achrat
deficit in your accounts?

A. No Sir I think not.

Q. Did you keep money on
hand or merely checks?
