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.[1] 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.

- ↑ In anticipation of the necessity of moving from his interior mission, Dr. Whitman had arranged to purchase the Methodist Mission site at The Dalles.
- ↑ Mr. Roberts' purpose in keeping a copy of his official correspondence was merely to have one for his own reference, hence his free use of abbreviations when making that copy. Many of these book titles will be recognized readily altho some are too obscure to justify an effort to interpret them.
