Mr. E. N. Dickerson,

Washington Life Building, 141 Broadway,
New York City,

Dear Sir:-
On July 10th we received from the Pressed Steel car company dividend No. 2 of 1,3/4% on the preferred capital stock of that company. There is still 709 shares of this stock owned by Mr. Freer, detailing in your name, same not having been transferred on account of Mr. Freer's absence from America. I presume therefore, that the dividend on these shares was again paid to you. Will you kindly favor Mr. Freer with your check for $1240.75 payment of the above dividend, being 1,5/4% on 709 shares. Mr. Freer has just returned to Detroit and we [[strikethrough]] wil [[/strikethrough]] will have the stock transferred at once and save you further annoyance.
Thanking you in advance, I am,
Yours truly,
H. A. B. Aikman
