[[stamped]] EXTRA COPY  Orig. corr. filed in [[/stamped]]

January 30, 1919.

American Railway Express Co.,
65 Broadway,
New York, N. Y.

Gentlemen:

Referring to your bill No. A/10/109, submitted in the amount of $99.77, I would call attention to charges thereon on which payments have already been made, as called to the attention of your company in our letters of August 28, 1918, and January 13, 1919, the latter quoting the former in full, no reply thereto having been received.  Copy of the letter of January 13 is inclosed.  The items in question are as follows:

Date | Charge Slip | From | To | Weight | Amount
Aug. 5 | 1697-Bi | Washington, D. C. | Hayward, Cal. | 2 lb. | $0.49
Aug. 5 | 1695-Bi | Washington, D. C. | Hayward, Cal. | 11 lb. | $1.50
Total | 1.99

These charges were paid upon demand by Alexander Wetmore, Assistant Biologist of this Bureau, then stationed at Hayward, California.  In order to prevent duplicate payment it is requested that refund of $1.99, asked for in our two letters, be made by check payable to Mr. Wetmore, mailed in care of this Bureau.  Upon receipt of the amount, your bill will be put in process of settlement.

Very truly yours,
