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.
