Rev. Isaac Leeser,
Philadelphia, Pa.
My Dear Sir,
At the late meeting of our Board, it was unanimously agreed to allow your claim for $75.00 for reading and cor-recting proofs of three sets of Hebrew plates of Job.
Your letter on the subject does not agree with the earlier letters in which the arrange-ment was made. According to the latter, you would really have no claim for more than $25.00. We sup-pose that you have forgotten the exact forms of expression employed in the earlier letters. But we took this view of the matter. The time was longer than expected, the trouble greater. The work was satisfactorily done, and the compensation is not extravagant.
We enclosed to you a draft for the balance due to you.
Very respectfully,
Wm H. Wyckoff
Cor. Sec.
