Bedding, Mich. Sept. 20. 1908.
Mr.. Maurice D Larkins.
Dayton, Ohio.
Dear SIR
| Relative TO your bill Of recent
date for one Hydrant Gate. shipped some
four years ago. would say: have made
a very careful investigation Of this and
find from our Fire Chief that at the time
your Genial Representative, a MIR. White,
induced Mr.. PEBBLES to allow him to send
the same on approval; with the under
standing that he (Mr. White) would take
the same away with him on his next trip
if It wasen't satisfactory and a necessity
for the companies use. My farther under
standing is that Mr.. White did not come
here again and the result is that the
gate has been stored away from that
time on and the city or fire company
have no use for it.
1t was thoroughly understood
that the city should not be out any return
to take it with him, but in as much as he
has not come for it, and the gentleman
from Benton Harbor. who now under.
stand represents you, has never mentioned
it. has not taken it, think it advisable t.
close the matter up by returning the
goods by express. all charges paid.
Trusting this will be salts.
factory to you, am
