Gentlemen

We contemplated when
Mr. Coat wrote you to remit you by this
the of note in your hands, made by Mr
Jn Coats The non receipt of government funds
which had been onfidently expected to arrive
here this week on which we held claims-has
prevented us from making the remittance,
we hope Eve the leaves, she is now her
we may be able to remit the amount by her,
we hope this delay of a few days willnot
much against your interest
