To the freemen of the state of Rhode-Island, &c : Gentlemen, Well convinced that the supporters of the present opposition ... have circulated ... that the interest on the state and Continental securities have been paid on the nominal sums, and not on the real value; I have procured a certificate from your general-treasurer, respecting the manner of paying interest on public securities. - Bowen, Jabez ([Printed by John Carter], 1786)
