2038. DEBT (Revolutionary), Principle of Payment.—[further continued].

The loan office certificates
will be settled by the table of depreciation at their true worth in gold or silver at the time
the paper dollars were lent. On that true value
the interest has been paid, and continues to be
paid to the creditors annually in America. That
the principal will also be paid is as sure as
any future fact can be.—
To Messrs. Delap. Washington ed. ii, 102.
(P. 1787)
