BANK OF THE UNITED STATES,l


May 5.
Hon. HENRY L. PINcKNEY, Mayor


Of the city of Charleston, S. C.


SIR: am instructed by the Board Of
Directors OF the Bank Of the United States,
to express to the citizens Of Charleston
their very sincere sympathy under the
calamity which has recently befallen that
city, and their anxiety to do every thing
in their power to mitigate it.-Such q mis-.
fortune, which even strangers must de.
plore, cannot fail to awaken the livelies
interest in every part Of our common
country. Butthis Institution has, during
so long series Of years, been intimately
connected in all the relations Of busi-
ness, with the community of Charleston,
and has so many ties of friendly inter
course and personal regard with its mem
bers, that having witnessed and shared It's
prosperity, we are proportionably afflicted
by this sudden reverse of its fortunes
The disaster, melancholy as it now seems,
will doubtless soon be surmouted and re-
paired by the energy and the resources
ofour fellow-citizens but, in the meantime,
there might be much individual suffering,
and much personal privation, which may
be aleviated by immediate assistance
For this purpose, the Board Of Directors
place the enclosed contribution at the dis
posal Of the City Authorities, who will
have the goodness to employ it as they
may deem most efficiently for the relief Of
the sufferers.


With great respect, yours,


N. BIDDLE, President
