Treasury Department. March 3, 1808.
Sir: In answer to your letter of the 1st instant, I have the honor to state:
1st. That the 5 per cent. reserved by the act of 30th April, 1802, on the net moneys received for public lands in the State of Ohio, sold since 1st July, 1802, has amounted to the following sums, viz:
| From 1st July, 1802, to 30th June, 1803 | $ 6,220 00 |
| From 1st July, 1803, to 30th June, 1804 | 8,810 17 |
| From 1st July, 1804, to 30th June, 1805 | 13,994 30 |
| From 1st July, 1805, to 30th June, 1806 | 31,442 20 |
| From 1st July, 1806, to 30th June, 1807 | 28,827 92 |
| From 1st July, 1807, to 31st December, 1807 (estimated) | 15,000 00 |
| $104,294 59 |
And that the said 5 per cent. will henceforth probably amount to $30,000 a year.
| 2d. That, of the $30,000 appropriated by act of 29th March, 1806, there has been expended, in laying out the Cumberland road from Cumberland to Brownsville, about | $10,000 |
| That there may be wanted to complete the location, about | 5,000 |
| $15,000 |
