C. H. Haberkorn, Esq.,

Detroit, Michigan.

Dear Sir:-
Your letter of the 18th instant, is received with contents as named. I accept both the returned rental check and your courteous apology. The amount involved in rent is too trifling for further discussion, but in dismissing this item of your several claims, I may state, properly, I hope, that you might have spared me the acceptance of your apology by adopting ordinary business customs, of which you are an acknowledged master.

Your acceptance of my check in settlement of your considerate claim for the underpinning, graciously rolls another stone across the alley - for which I thank you; and for which I have duly apologized to my freind Colonel Hecker, and to my legal counselor.

Now, as we have both dutifully apologized, let us continue our merry way - but, let me cautiously say to you, that if the crushed stone had been hurled through another window in the manner so vividly told in your forceful letter, a "gentle protest" would have indeed been entered against the real offender on the spot,
