Agent, H Forwards receipts of Jacob Russell and Corne- lius Porter. Receipts filed with Chapman June 17's report of "receipts and disbursements". Reeds. Bureau R. F. & A. L. June 20th 1871
Transcription Notes:
I am pretty sure that the line where Cornelius' name starts, there is a stroke that most likely is coming from the lowercase 'f' from above. I base this on how the writer did his 'r' at the end of Porter.
For the word after agent I thought it was 'H' after comparing it with other examples of the 'H' in the writing. Please update if you think differently.
