New York,

& where a shipment like yours is to be examined, it is customary to notify the Officials to be very careful with the handling & of course we suppose they are. However we regret exceedingly your loss & will hand your letter on Monday to the U.S. Appraiser for report & will inquire from the Examiner if he verified the contents & noticed the shortage. As soon as we receive a reply, we will immediately communicate with you.
Very truly yours,
Bane & Hill

We enclose Mssrs JF & Co receipt for $60.15 & they instruct us to forward goods Freight to Detroit collect; and changes for forwarding collect. Do they mean our change for carting & Forwarding? In other words did you agree to pay anything besides the freight to Detroit & the bill of $60.15?
