Dr Sir
I have examined the parcel of negatives (11 large and 27 small) which I purchased from you last, and I find that they bear the following marks
| Large | Small | ||
| A | 5 | A | 23 |
| B | 6 | B | 2 |
| 11 | C | 2 | |
| 27 | |||
The value therefore of those amounts to as under
| 5 large A | – | 5ּ | 5ּ | 0 |
| 6 Do B | – | 3ּ | ||
| 23 small A | – | 8ּ | 1ּ | |
| 2 Do B | – | 9 | ||
| 2 Do C | – | 7 | ||
| 17ּ | 2 |
Henneman <1> has just returned you the negatives you sent him last May I hope you have recd them safe. Of these I have retained the following ones – 6 Large 4 Small
| Viz. Nos | 174 | 29 |
| 183 | 36 | |
| 190 | 43 | |
| 192 | 55 | |
| 200 | ||
| 202 |
No letter being marked on these, I have supposed them all to bear the letter A, and the value of them therefore is
| 6 large A | – | 6ּ6ּ0 |
| 4 small do | – | 1ּ8 |
| 7ּ14 |
The amount of these sums therefore is
| 17 | ּ2 | ּ0 |
| 7 | ּ14 | ּ0 |
| 24 | ּ16 |
From this has to be deducted Henneman’s account against you which I have Enclosed viz. £6 ּּ11ּּ10 leaving a balance due to you of £18ּּ4ּּ2 for which I will send a cheque in another letter.
Revd C. Jones
