Hon Richard Yates

                  Springfield

                                Dr Sir
                                             Yours of the 13th is at hand contents noted
                                                                             We find that Mrs Yates paid for the goods at the time she selected them, and the mistake has occurred in the Sales-man omitting to mark the memorandum paid before the book was examined by the Book-Keeper, as we are all liable to mistakes, we trust you will excuse us at this time, and we will try to be more particular in future if Mrs Y. should need anything more in our line

                                                        Yours Respectfully
                                                            Burley & Tyrrell
