s. HAMMOND TO MOSES AUSTIN

St Louis 29th Deer 1813.

Dr Sm, Your favor of the 26 th came to hand by your Son Jast Evening, I am sorry you could not yourself make us a Visite during Our present Session, I think you could have aided the progress _of Our banking Schemes-We h~ve had several meetings of the Commissioners I have finally agreed u_pon attempting by petition to obtain a New Charter; Which Charter drawn up will accompany the Petition and probably be presented tomorrow, the new Charter will imbrace most of the alterations proposed by you and also much of the Old bill- We hold fast the Old Charter, so that if we fail to procure a new Charter the old one stands secure and St Genevieve will also fail in their application-after which I presume they would go heartily into the bank under the Old Law-I wish Stephen was not so much hurreyed up on his Return-I could have wished that he should have seen the new Charter, but if he goes (as he intends) today, he can not have a perusal thereof- the new bill has beei:i- drawn by Easton, under the superintendance of Judge Lucas and ~isted by Christian Wilt.
