That the Loan-Officers in every state do immediately open subscriptions for the said Loan. 2.

That no subscription be received for less then five hundred dollars. 4. That all subscriptions under ten thousand dollars shall be paid into the Loan-Office where the same shall be subscribed, or into the Hands of the person obtaining the subscription, within fourteen days after the subscription shall be made. 5.
