This morning's mail brought a letter dated June 29th., addressed to you by Lefebvre-Foinet, containing detailed information with respect to certain shipments which they are making for our account. As it was marked "copie pour New York" I presume that the original was mailed directly to you. I certainly am very glad to know that said shipments are handled so speedily, and upon their arrival in New York I shall do my utmost to have them cleared by the customs as quickly as possible in order to be able to give you a detailed report. I arranged for the necessary Marine insurance with Lloyds.

Helpful notes for transcribers:
-please see instructions for correctly noting marginalia. Use "/" not "end" for terminal bracket. Use "note" or "left margin" instead of "written".
-Also, don't add info that isn't in document. Leave 14 as 14, don't add 14"th".
-Per instructions, don't use [[signature]] in place of signature, just type out the name.
