Dear Sir:
272 Primers @ 5 13.60 60 " @ 20 12.00 72 Testaments @ 10 7.20 72 Gems @ 10 7.20 10 Gems @ 10 1.00 $41.00
Your letter to Capt. McDowell, at Winchester, was referred through the Bureau to this Agency of the American Tract Society with the request that we would supply the books named therin on the terms proposed. We take pleasure in so doing & whenever we shall have received 1/2 the amount of above bill, we will cancel the remainder by charging to our charity fund or rather to Grants as we have no funds. Provided: you will see that none have books for nothing who are able to pay, & none go without for want of money to buy. Please write us on receipt of them & whenever you can make it convenient let us hear from the Schools.
Very Truly Yours
J. L. D. Walford
Agt.
