Dear Sir

Untill reminded by your favor the 17h inst I had entirely forgotten the monied transaction with Blackford Arthur & Co you have made it as clear as sun beams and I now see how it was that in making my last payment to the university I had to pay $165 instead of $150—I shall see the gentlemen in the course of the summer & have no doubt they will accot for the $15

with much respect & esteem I am dear sir your friend

Hh Holmes
