Dear Bishop,

Your kind favor of 19th inst with the money, $174.26, duly came to hand. Bro Farrell wanted me to pay him $868.50; but I rather objected, saying we had paid Hess for his flour $174.20. Farrell replied, saying that you had got Hess' flour, besides the flour covering the $868.50; & on his saying that you would hold that flour for us, besides the balce on the 361 Sks, I consented to pay him accordingly. However, (altho' I do not exactly see how you can with strict propriety say that I "paid bro. Farrell by mistake,") -- as the money is returned, it makes the acct square and correct (when we get the remaining 17 sks) and I accordingly enclose the due bills given by you for the 2680 flour to D Hess. which please find enclosed.

With thanks for your kind attention and promptness in keeping this flour business straight, as you have done, I remain Very truly Your brother in the Gospel of Peace
