Will You be kind enough to have sent me by return mail his a/c against The Freedmen as I desire to compare it with any a/c he may present against Them, In the event he does not settle with me for them I will advise You as they deny. The corrections of his a/c rendered & decision is to be made to suit the size of their demand You will at once see the importance of having the a/c transmitted to your office.
