New York 5 Jany 1822 Thomas Ruffin Esqr. Sir We rec'd your dividend from the U States Bank and purchased for you two Shares as & the certificate here enclosed. Also is annexed a statement of the whole. It is often difficult to get two or three shares, and it was some time before the Broker we employed could find them for you. And for small sums the price is always at the higher rate. At the same time the Stock was at 16 1/8 [?] only a few days ago it is now at 15 1/2 or there about which was the price we paid for you. We are Sir Yours Sincerely Thos Irvin & Co
