NEW YORK, February 9, 1870. S 

J. F. HARTRANFT, Esq., 

Auditor Gerwral State oj Pennsylvania, Harrisbwrg, Pa. : 

DEAR Sm:-1 return to you herewith the form of return sent 

to me a second time to be filled out with more particulars. Many 

of the items I cannot give, as for instance "total amount now 

paid in of capital stock," as our line was all constructed under 

contract for so many shares of stock per mile, the contractor being 

obliged to find purchasers for the stock paid to him, and the moneys 

received being paid into the hands of a trustee. "Floating 

debt."-No report has been made of this, and it would be unfair 

to the company to require just now any statement of claims upon 

it, as they have just increased their capital stock to double its former 

amount, annulled the contract for construction, and have assumed 

un the property and materials of the contractor, he relinquishing 

their equivalent in stock, at a low valuation, which property 

and materials are partly unpaid for, and would go into 

"floating debt," while the report has no item of assets, which in 

this case, in market value of stock, would overbalance the debt 

for material acquired as above. I trust this explanation will be 

iatisfactory, especially as only one hundred and twenty shares are 

owned in Pennsylvania. 

Respectfully, 

ALFRED NELSON, Trw,surer.
