Thirteenth President Millard Fillmore writes to the President of the Mechanics and Farmers Bank in Albany, New York, Thomas W. Olcott, regarding railroad bonds: "In June last, Mr. J.M. Garrison of N.Y. wrote me that you have had some first mortgage 7 per cent Bonds on the Cleveland, Columbus & Cincinnati R.R. Co. which you wished to dispose of as a 1 per cent premium. I expect to want a $1000-bond of that kind on the 1st of March. Can you let me have it, and at what rate?"
