"NEW YORK, _Dec. 1849_.
"_To the Supervisors of the City and County of New York, for
Taxes, 1849._
"MR. SAML. J. TILDEN.
"To tax on personal estate, 11 Fifth Avenue.
"Valuation, 2000.

"Tax, 23.66."
Mr. Tilden had already become interested in a small way in the
establishment of the first balance dock ever provided for the New York
harbor. His friends, O'Sullivan, Waterbury, and Secor, were also among
the number interested with him. The following contract shows the nature
and extent of Mr. O'Sullivan's interest. The venture did not prove very
profitable to them, nor to have received much attention from Mr. Tilden.
