Mr. W. H. Harden
Dear Sir,
Your favor of the 28th ultimate has just come to hand with it’s contents, namely, five dollars.
The amount of your account is nine dollars, with a credit now of five, leaving a balance in our favor of four dollars, which I doubt not you will settle soon.
I will ascertain whether I can mail your books tomorrow, and, if so, will send them to you forthwith.
Please accept my thanks for the remittance and believe me as ever,
Your friend, etc.
J G. Stead
