Transcribe Bierce, S. C. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1879-06-09)

Dear Sir.

Yours of June 2nd rec'd last week. and I beg pardon for delay. but I have been waiting expecting each day to hear from Bishop Payne concerning the cases. as he [feand?] we could raise money for them and wrote me to delay your movements at present. But as matter seemed mixed we telegraphed him an itemized bill for cases before delaying you, and as I expected, the telegraphs "go ahead"- therefore unless he has so written to you your have not delayed.
