64 (24) December 24, 1898. Mr. Bunkio Matsuki, 330 Boylston St., Boston, Mass. My dear Matsuki:- I have your kind letter of the 20th instant, and note same fully. The articles covered by my last purchase have not yet been received, but I have no doubt they will come in good time. Inasmuch as you are anxious to remit money to Japan not later than the 27th instant, I am sending you my check for $1057.00, herewith enclosed. Kindly receipt and return vouchers herewith. Your account is credited as follows: [[3 columned table]] | --- | --- | --- | | With the Okio and Sotatsu screens | $ 700.00 | | | The 6 Kakemono | 310.00 | | | The potteries | 447.00 | | | The December invoice | 1400.00 | | | The Motonobu screen | 300.00 | | | | | $3157.00 | | Less cash advances in 1897 |$ 600.00 [[checkmark]] | | | Less cash advanced October, 1898 | 1500.00 [[checkmark]] | | | | | $2100.00 [[checkmark]] | | Balance | | $1057.00 | I will take the Motonobu cedar screen, and I have no doubt that it will give me very much pleasure in the future; but you need not ever expect to see it burned in the fireplace, as you suggested.
