be granted to this valuation, closing therewith this account per appoint.
In the event of Your Excellency having anticipated this mode of
arranging for the balance, by providing for the same with remittances,
I shall have much pleasure in placing the amount to account for the
payment of the ensuing dividend, or if preferable in the opinión of
Your Excellency I could apply it to the purpose of purchasing for
the sinking fund. This latter object I beg leave to recommend to the
attention of Your Excellency, as the circumstance of making the
necessary provisión by remittances in accordance with the terms of
the contract is of a nature to deserve unremitting consideration.
