Dear Sir!
I have the pleasure to hand you enclosed Ottenheimer Bro's Check for $9.50/100 for 3 Books sent to me through Mr Abecasis in December last.
I was not a little surprised the other day to be informed by Mr Osterberg with whom I left in the year 1855 your remaining 7 Bibles and 12 Copies of Dias letters subject to your order, that these books were still in his store, and have never been called for. I must candidly tell you my friend, this is bad management of your business affairs. Perceiving that your property was not properly cared for in Mr O's store, being stowed away in some damp place, & after examining the books, finding one Bible & several of the small books badly damaged, I concluded to take them again in my possession to No 130 Duane St. where I shall be ready to deliver them to any party, you may be pleased to designate. I trust you collected since all the bills for the unpaid Bibles which I distributed in 1855 according to your instruction. Soliciting your further requests, I remain Your obedt servt
