Dear Mrs Stanford
Mr Wohlfahrt on the 7th just has written in your behalf asking for a statement of account up to date, which I hasten to enclose. The amount which Mr {Therbette ?} Kane {?} paid here for your account on the 25th April amounted to F 22990 corresponding to Italian Life 23220, & not F 24400 as Mr Wohlfahrt shares in his letter.
In the enclosed statement you will see L 400 paid to lawyer; this account was L 442 but he has taken off something at last.
You will perceive also L {04.90 ?} for a telegram! This was sent to Mr Knowland to advise him of the departure of the cases from Leghorn & { steamer ?}, so that he might pursue in time if necessary.
The amount to your credit this day is Lire 2181.75. Looking over book of instructions, the following are the
