Jan 15/83.
Dear Charley—
Hand the check & bill to Newman & get a receipt to date if you can:. His man has been up & straightened out our bells—but he it was who tangled them; therefore I don’t wish to pay anything for the untangling. In this check for $18.95 I am actually paying Newman for tangling the bells—& for keeping them tangled 2 months.
Hold on——why is he charging me 18 hours time? That is nonsense. He was to attend to this house whenever he was sending a man to Hartford. The man was never to come specially. What I really owe is “Expenses $4” & about three hours time. See what he says to that.
I like your circular first rate.
I’ll enclose that oath in another envelop—am going down town this afternoon.
Yrs
