r, and of the survivor, in the case of death of either one. I suppose I must regard the letter of Mr. Forbes to me, dated January 4, 1872, and written under instructions from the Governors of the Bank as expressing your final conclusion that the account in whatever form it may be kept, must be considered a personal one. You know my anxiety to have by deposits received by the Bank, and entered in such way that in case of my death the balance may be drawn at once by the Secretary of the Treasury or some other officer of the Government, and although you are unwilling to regard the account as an official one, I hope that on further consideration you will allow it to be opened in the name of Mr. Boutwell and myself jointly and severally as above stated. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) WILLIAM A. RICHARDSON, _Assistant Secretary of the United States Treasury Department._ _(e)_ MR. FORBES TO JUDGE RICHARDSON BANK OF ENGLAND, E. C. _January_ 17, 1872. HON. W. A. RICHARDSON, _Assistant Secretary of the Treasury of the United States_, 41, _Lombard St._ _Sir:_ I am directed by the Governor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th inst., requesting that the account of money deposited by you in the Bank may stand in the name of the Hon. George S. Boutwell, Secretary of the Treasury, U. S. A., and yourself, the Assistant Secretary, jointly and severally, so as to be subject to the several draft of either, and of the survivor in case of death of either one. I am to inform you that the Bank is prepared to open an account in this form, as a personal account; but it is essential that Mr. Boutwell should join in the request and concur in the conditions proposed before each party can in that case draw upon the account. I am, sir, Your obedient servant, (Signed) GEORGE FORBES, _Chief Cashier._ _(f)_ JUDGE RICHARDSON'S REPORT 41, LOMBARD STREET, LONDON, _January_ 25, 1872. HON. GEORGE S. BOUTWELL, _Secretary of the Treasury._ _Dear Sir:_ It is my purpose in this letter to give you an account of the way in which I have kept the money arising from the sale of the Funded Loan, and the manner in which it has been drawn from time to time to pay for bonds purchased and redeemed. Immediately after the first of December, 1871, the money began to accumulate very rapidly. Up to the first of December no money whatever had been received, all bonds delivered having been paid
