Tyler plans a sound paper currency with treasury notes
Tyler outlines a plan to issue treasury notes up to 1,000 dollars in place of gold and silver and to place the funds under a government board with agencies in major commercial locations. The scheme includes domestic bills for substantial, sight payable or short term drafts drawn across at least 100 miles apart, with limited gold and silver deposits allowed, aiming to regulate exchanges and redeemables in gold or silver at issue sites.

Agreement to End Slave Trade with Bonny Chiefs
A reported convention between Captain Tucker of the Iris and King Pepple and Bonny chiefs aims to suppress the slave trade. Britain pays 10,000 dollars yearly for five years, with annual certificates for trade proxies, enforcement by force if violated, and a shared proclamation by King Pepple. A later note mentions a 1568 Elizabethan shilling found at Shutter, Lorton, in good condition amid an era of historic coin discoveries.
