You perceive, Mr. Perkins, as per above, that in the last 16 months (since Jan. 17, 1876,) we have invested through you with Burnham, $26,000 & with Bissell, $5,000; total, $31,000. Miss Hesse’s accounts are so intolerably mixed that I can make neither head nor tail of them, but as far as I can see, we have received only $1340.50 interest. on that aggregate. I wish you would straighten up the interest account & tell me what interest we have received, item by item, & the dates of the reception, so that I can start fresh.

$1340 seems to be about right, with nearly as much more to fall due July 1, but I am rather guessing at Miss Hesse’s items than proceeding on dead moral certainties.
