Resolution [to the U. S. House of Representatives] re: investment in state stocks (of Smithson fund?)
1 p.
JQA—Papers and Writings as U.S. Representative 1831-1841
- Archival Note: The draft resolution probably relates to investment of Smithsonian Fund in state bonds. JQA opposed this form of investment and insisted that U.S. should guarantee full return of principal and interest if the state stocks fell below par. See Rhees, Smithsonian Institution, 1:184.
