    You letter enclosing

Bill of Miss E. F. Holbrook & Bros. for Glass Came to hand this Morning . The ?load was recd by mail several days ago. But would not answer- So I ordered some through a hardwood merchant of this town which I hope will suit - I had not paid Miss Holbrook & Bro. because they had sent me no bill & I had no idea of amt. due them. They sent me a receipt of Old Dominion Steam Ship Co. for the glass but no bill. The glass has arrived & this morning I have sent them My draft for $201.09 amt of their bill sent by you. The cases are all ready except the hinges for the Sash doors - which I ordered some time ago - thro a hardware merchant in Balto. & hr wrote that he had not that particular size ( 3 1/2 x 3 1/2) but that he had ordered them.
