Miss:

I had forgotten about your transportation.  Did you have it from Philadelphia to Woodville, and did the stage refuse to take it, and did you pay $3.00?  If so send me the refused Govt. transportation, and state what you paid and I will arrange the matter.  I shall send you 1/2 doz. Wilson's Spellers to-day, and will try to get price of maps. 

Very Respectfully, Yours,

Let them state on a separate paper what their transportation cost, and give the items.  If they put the amount on the blank, sometimes it is more than the Govt. will allow, and thus spoils the blank.  In other respects
