Dear Sir,

Upon the arrival of the freight at Memphis I delivered same to the Quarter Master as upon your letter to him, he informed me that he had no authority to pay freight. Had I known that I should remain out of the freight I would have shipped it myself and collected charges from the boat.

Please send me amt ($3.30) by return mail and oblige

Yours truly
