Voici Le Compte de M. Louis Reiset pr le mois de Mars.
Veuillez après écritures me le renvoyer.
Veuillez prévenir M. [Lohr?] que je l’ai débité de
39.80 pr remboursements de M. Louis Reiset, savoir
25.80 fr livrés à M. [Adrien?]
14 — pr réparation de [blanchage?]
39.80
Voici réponse de [Lacoste Delapierre?], Veuillez la faire
porter sur le tableau et puis l’envoyer sous bande et sous Couvert [nom ou mot non déchiffré].

Voici les Triplicatas, d’abord des achats faits par les
ordres transmis au Trésor le 8 et retardés par le dimanche.
Vous avez déjà Ceux pr M. Arthur.
Ensuite Ceux faits par les ordres transmis au Trésor le 10 avril
et que vous m’avez prié de faire remplir de Suite.
Je crois toutefois que pour tous Ceux qui me demanderont
d’acheter ou de vendre dès le lendemain, tandis que pr le Trésor
les ordres ne sont guères exécutés que le surlendemain, il est
Convenable de faire mettre sur leurs demandes par écrit
de faire acheter dès la bourse du lendemain, s’il est possible, afin
que dans ces variations si rapides et si fortes on ne puisse
jamais s’en prendre à moi pour avoir vendu un jour
plutost où un jour plus tard.

Ayant reconnu qu’en effet j’avais oublié de Couvrir mon
Collègue de l’Yonne [d’un mandat?] de 100 f que j’avois fourni sur lui le
22 Janv. et qu’il a payé le 26, Je l’ai crédité pr le paiement de
ces 100 f valeur au 26 d°, Veuillez toutefois le confirmer
au Syndicat dans votre 1ʳᵉ Lettre. Je reçois V. lettre d’hier qui ne me
donne rien à répondre.
Sans autre, adieu.

Letter and financial calculations - Paris, 12 April 1831

English translation

Paris, 12 April 1831.

Here is Mr Louis Reiset’s account for the month of March. Please return it to me after making the entries.
Please inform Mr [Lohr?] that I have debited him with 39.80 for reimbursements to Mr Louis Reiset, as follows:
25.80 francs handed to Mr [Adrien?];
14 for a repair of [laundry?];
39.80.
Here is the reply from [Lacoste Delapierre?]. Please have it entered on the table and then send it under a wrapper and under cover [undeciphered name or designation].

Here are the triplicate statements, first for the purchases made under the orders sent to the Treasury on the 8th and delayed by Sunday. You already have those for Mr Arthur. Next, those made under the orders sent to the Treasury on 10 April, which you asked me to have carried out immediately.
I nevertheless think that, for all those who ask me to buy or sell on the following day, whereas orders for the Treasury are scarcely carried out before the day after that, it is advisable to have them state in writing on their requests that the purchase should be made at the next day’s stock exchange session, if possible, so that amid such rapid and substantial fluctuations no one can ever blame me for having sold a day earlier or a day later.

Having realised that I had indeed forgotten to cover my colleague from the Yonne for [a draft?] of 100 francs which I had drawn on him on 22 January, and which he paid on the 26th, I credited him for the payment of these 100 francs, value the 26th of the same month. Please nevertheless confirm it to the Syndicate in your next letter. I have received your letter of yesterday, which leaves me nothing to answer.
With nothing further, goodbye.
