Dear Sir,
We beg to acknowledge receipt of your favour dated 30th June, and regret to say that we have delayed in replying to your previous favour which has been mislaid.
We now beg to enclose herewith a sight draft for Frcs. 3,989 – in payment of a bust in plaster of Father Aymard by Rodin, purchased for account of Mr. Matsukata.
We shall be pleased if you will kindly favour us with a receipt of the above in duplicate.
Yours faithfully
