| Notes: | Letter of transmittal from J. Brown, Jr., Second Auditor, is to the Speaker of the House of Delegates and is dated March 3d, 1841.
"The Board of public works beg permission to invite the attention of the general assembly to a subject in which the commonwealth is much interested. In their twentieth annual report, made on the 11th February 1836, the board apprised the legislature that they had instituted a suit in the superior court of law and chancery for the Richmond district, for the recovery of a loan of fifty thousand dollars in Virginia Bank stock and money, made by them to the Richmond dock company in the year 1823, by special authority of law. ... There is now reason to believe that a decree will be entered up during the present term of the court, directing a sale of the dock in conformity to the mortgage executed by the company to the Board of public works for the re-payment of the loan."
