Nothing from Bergen Since Dec. 8—3 weeks. How do you account for that? I would be glad to hear that the party is out of luck.

Explanatory Notes
1 Perkins’s reply is now lost. H. W. Bergen’s postcard would have reported on receipts from the road production of Colonel Sellers (21 Sept 1877 to Perkins, n. 1). The “party” evidently was John T. Raymond.
