Original transcript

Paris 19 avril 1831.

Je reçois V. Lettre d’hier.
Je vous donnerai tantôt [les?] 1706f de différence
sur le Compte Chaulet.
Renvoyez moi le récépissé de 2443.46 de M. [d’Haucourt?].
Il faut qu’il y ait erreur, la date est bien du 16 avril, mais
il doit reporter le payement du 28 mars de 12443.46 qui
réduit en effet le Compte à 80000f, il n’y a pas eu de
payement depuis lors.
Je vois Votre Envoi Nᵒ 50.
Vous Verrez par le Moniteur sans doute que la Compagnie
qui a Soumissionné l’Emprunt et dont Je faisais partie sous
le nom de M. Delaporte a offert le prix de 82.10, mais le
mouvement que le 5% avoit fait hier a porté le
Ministre à hausser son Minimum à 84f, de façon que
l’adjudication a été nulle Jusqu’ici, on se réunit de nouveau
Je ne sais si on s’entendra.
adieu Mille amitiés
[paraphe]

English translation

Paris, 19 April 1831.

I have received your letter of yesterday.
I shall give you shortly [the?] 1,706 francs difference on the Chaulet account.
Return to me the receipt for 2,443.46 from Mr [d’Haucourt?]. There must be an error: the date is indeed 16 April, but the payment of 12,443.46 of 28 March should be carried forward, which does indeed reduce the account to 80,000 francs. There has been no payment since then.
I see your Dispatch No. 50.
You will doubtless see in the Moniteur that the company which bid for the loan, and of which I was a member under the name of Mr Delaporte, offered a price of 82.10. But the movement made by the 5% yesterday led the Minister to raise his minimum to 84 francs, so that the adjudication has so far come to nothing. We are meeting again; I do not know whether an agreement will be reached.
Farewell, a thousand kind regards.
[paraph]

Notes

Documentary annotation: [small underlined mark at upper left]
The receipt amount and larger payment to be carried forward are transcribed separately as written, without arithmetic reconciliation. The initial article and receipt counterparty’s name remain locally uncertain. The loan bid, market movement and minimum are the writer’s report.
