Dear Sir.

A few days ago I worte a letter to
Anna, Illinois, asking whether a package
of 10,000 pins sent by my father last Dec-
ember had arrived. Today I learn that you
are in Washington, & therefore address you
there: if they have not arrived the Express Co.
must of course answer for the loss.

Glad to learn that you have brought
from the West a good collection.

In haste,
Sincerely yours
John L. LeConte
