Sir
I have the honor to acknowledge the receipt of your letter enclosing your checks, five in number, on the First National Bank of Nashville, amounting in all to $8,846.74.  I handed them, in person, according to your instructions to Mr. Cooley Cashier of the above named Bank and received from him in return your memorandum checks and letter of credit for the same amount.
I enclose herewith the letter of credit and memorandum checks referred to, all endorsed as "canceled".
On receiving the checks Mr. Cooley remarked that he understood that you had promised to send him N. Y. Exchange instead of checks against your account at the 1st Nat. 
Mr. Cooley also said that the Giles Nat. Bank had charged him $6.50 on the letter of credit. That the other Bank at Pulaski would in the future should you desire to make your disbursement through them, cash the check without charge or discount and would also provide a room to disburse in if necessary.
Should you wish it you might deposit with the 1st Nat. the amount disbursed with checks on N.Y.  This would be the same as having given them the Eastern Exchange
Very respectfully, your obedient servant.
