Dear Sir,

Please refund Cont. for Pertpet^l Rep. to 2121 finally passed upon and recorded.

By one of the strange anomalies the Corporation charges you for receiving money of you, that is to say - the charge for drawing, getting execution of and recording the contract is $5. which you can remit at your convenience.

Truly yours,

A.J. Coolidge Sec.y
