Galveston, February 24, 1869

Mr. Johann Killian
Serbin

We wrote to you on January 13 of this year and sent you the bill for the box of books in the amount of $16.00 in gold. We hope that this is correct and is what you have received.

From Mr. Leisewitz we received $20.00 in gold, which we credited to you.

Respectfully submitted,
J. Kaufman & Co.
