Dear [Fir?]:

Your letter of 14th arrived this morning.

I endorse the [this?] [senkeis?] bill $73.10.

Have seen Mr Macdenold the binder who says the omisent of the filing from the front and leave edge would make about 10 cent difference. Adding [thifsue?] to the plates would made about 5 cents more. So he wants $1.10 but I think I can reduce him to $1.00 per copy.

Dear Sir

We have just discovered - after a quantity of the "Horses in Moition" are bound that Pleases 84 and 99 are duplicates. Invseritagations with the Heliotype Printing Co. shows that they had your proofs marked as they have printed both being approved. We have for the time being stopped the binding until we hear from you though if orders should exceed what bound stacks we have are bound we may have to bind more.

Yours Truly

James R Osgood + Co.
