5630. NATIONAL CURRENCY, Congressional control.—[continued].

To give readier credit
to their bills, without obliging themselves to
give cash for them on demand, let their collectors
be instructed to do so, when they have
cash; thus, in some measure, performing the
functions of a bank, as to their own notes.—
To Thomas Cooper. Washington ed. vi, 382.
(M. Sep. 1814)
