Dear Mr. Perkins—

I invested $4,500 some time ago; & lent J Langdon & Co $5,000 Sept. 4, & I have drawn other checks besides. I cannot account for the largeness of the above credit, unless Bliss has paid in the rest of the copyright due—or unless Slote & has paid in a large Scrap-book royalty.


WhichⒶemendation is it?—or is it either?

Ys Truly
S. L. C.

Have just recd a letter from Bliss (Frank) who mentions rendering the first account but nothing about a subsequent one.
