a simple acknowled ment of debt to a certain amount, and
all certificates for monies loaned to the author States would
be excluded, which is not the intent and m earning of

and it fhall not appear by the tena fit, or if it and
be afcertained from any public record act OR document,

stions and eaproditures for ferrices or supplies towards the
efucution of the late was and the defence of the limited

confistent with the direction of the law to receive it
