Dear Sir,

I enclosed certain bills to you last year, but learned soon that you had gone to Europe, to be absent several months. Hoping that you might call here when in Boston I have not so far sent again. I am however very anxious to close up certain old accts, and trust therefore that you will so far as your lot is that of Mr Farrar is concerned, enable me to do so.

My predecessor's clerk made certain errors in charges on your account by reason of the number of your lot being accidentally included with lots 3208-11 (the Hitchcock brothers) where a charge of $36.00 was divided between their four lots & yours, instead of their four alone. That made bill of $7.20 apparently for care of lot 2903 for 1867. You paid that charge to me by mistake instead of your regular bill for both lots of $12.00: and Bond's clerk had credited you already with 7.20 by mistake -- the ^⁴ Hitchcocks paying 36.00 or 9.00 each, and they were each credited 7.20 & you 7.20 -- He erroneously credited the amount to you, they having paid [?]
