Gentlemen:



You will find enclosed my check for $280.00 in payment of the within bill, which I beg you to receipt and return to me.  



I renew the suggestion made on the telephone that consular invoices should be provided in duplicate, or triplicate ( I think they are generally made out in triplicate), one of which I may forward to Dr. Ochoterna, to whom the goods are being despatched.



Let me also remind you to prepay the expressage, whatever it may be, and to pay for the consular invoices and to send me a bill for the same.



I am your

Yours very truly,
