Mr F.R. Bunker,

Please make your ^^next acct. agree
with the accts. previously rendered me -- that is,
after [finding? fixing?] up the amts. of bills collected stated
in the acct. rendered me, and deducting the
payment, in the same acct. -- then return
the whole of the cash in your hands, and
carry into a new account just items enough
to make the difference of the two sides
clear your hands of the remaining cash,
which for sure, you had better pay in,
and we can start with a new a/c.

After that you can retain what you recd,
and stop on the books in [abstracting?] your
acct. where you choose, only let the cash
sent agree with that specific accts.
To [?] any misunderstanding I will state it as
it is up to the present.
[this sentence indecipherable]

[last part of page financial accts.]

If you have enough in your hands to pay your quarter's salary
$162.50, (I corrected your a/c from 162.48) I will settle it with
you on Friday eve.y, when we pay, & you can make
up your a/c for enough to cover it.

Yours truly

A.J. Coolidge
