From your comments....you are wishing to make it a straightfoward calculation into today's money; it is not that simple...if one is desiring to be exact. (Inflation/deflation?) This will require some research on your part...I recall researching and doing such calculations re some civil war money/investments; that is how I learned that it is not a straightline calculating effort. And, you are needing to do it not for 130 years ago but for over 200 years...Again, you cannot take a current sum and solve the problem. It will not work.... Research within the financial realm as to how to convert sums into today's money....it is on the net someplace.... Carolyn McAfee clm1601@aol.com Notify Administrator about this message?
