 SIR, -' ^i%- 
 
 A NUMBER of the Inhabitants of the town of Kingston having 
 
 associated for the purpose of establishing a Bank, with a Capital of 250,000 
 
 Dollars, in Shares of Fifty Dollars each, and being desirous that the advantages 
 
 ivhich it is hoped will result from the Institution, should be extended to their 
 
 Friends in every quarter of the Country, they have directed us to invite you. Sir, 
 
 to become a Stockholder, and to request that you will be pleased to signify to its, 
 
 at as early a day as possible, the number of Shares you may think proper to sub* 
 
 scribe for » A Deposit of Four Dollars per share will be required, to entitle the 
 
 person subscribing to his Scrip, or Certificate of Stock ; nor will this call be 
 
 jiiade until the Bank goes into operation-'wbich will not be until Five Hundred 
 
 Shares are subscribed. It is intended to apply to the ensuing Parliament for an 
 
 Act of Incorporation / but if that be refused, it is contemplated to carry on the 
 
 establishment as a private Bank, provided the subscriptions to the stock be suffi* 
 
 cient to form the Capital proposed, -^ 
 
 To avoid the evils to which Banks in the United States hdve been exposed, 
 
 no expence will be spared to engage the most eminent Engraver, and in procuring 
 
 Paper of the finest texture ; and while in this particular the Public may receive 
 
 our paper with little or no dread of imposition, the Punctuality with which it 
 
 will ever be redeemed, will, we confidently trust, give to our Notes such a Cur* 
 
 rency as in a short time, to render our Banking Establishment as well advanta* . 
 
 geous and beneficial to the Country, as profitable to the Proprietors, -"We there" 
 
 fore strongly count upon the cordial support of every true Friend of the Country* 
 
 We are respectfully. Sir, 
 
 ,^^ Tour Most Obedient Servants^ v
