N.G. Carnes Esq.

Dear Sir,

Yours of yesterday is at hand. As the Superintendant has resigned, and the amt. stated in the bill sent is the same for the year 1860, as the one sent you, I take the responsibility to say that I will receipt their bill & the one for 1859: and I doubt not that the charge for 1860 is the one I sent you was intended to cover the item of painting.

I will return the receipted bills upon the arrival of your check for $64, on some bank or [brokerage?] here or in Mass. bills.

Truly yours A.J. Coolidge

Respy. yours
