| Sir, |
| The R. Road receipt for your last shipment
of Ingots Copper, calls for 3360 Ingots weighing 100,092 pounds, there
was received 3365 Ingots weighing 100,420, showing a difference in the
number of Ingots of 5 more than was shipped, but a loss in weight of 470
pounds. The R. Rd. bills sent for collection call for freight on 100,064
pounds, making a difference in the weight as received from your
delivered to me of 628 pounds. |
| All the Ingots were carefully counted and
weighed as they came from the Road, by the Clerk who attends to that
branch of the business. |
| Can you explain the discrepancy? |
| Very Resply |
| M. A. Wright |
