“Thomas Turner Esq.”
of Albany: “
…We have say 2200 Imps. (1/2 sheets) printed
backs
belonging to the State, but no unprinted water mark paper.  The amount wanted by ‘The Bank of
Corning
’ will require 1250 Imps.  Altering the pledge dies will cost from 25 to 30 dollars.  We altered the Williamsburgh pledge dies on their ½ plate without charge as they were subjected to the loss of $ 52
50/100
in paper & printing.  We will alter this plate & do the printing immediately on receiving your instructions to that effect, leaving the question open as to future similar orders...
