East India Stock Debates Bond Interest Reduction
A longhand note argues at the East India Company general court for cutting bond interest to three percent, claiming government payment delays and fund mechanics protect the company. It warns that reducing bonds will affect liquidity, urges reciprocal notice and sale options, and points to the company’s large fund and potential gains. It also prints a Dublin letter on a Lake of cures in Ireland, summarizing a voyage to Lough Sheughs and the Lake’s supposed medicinal properties with various anecdotal cures and observers.
