Dear Sir:-

We have in our freight house consigned to you from the West
11 boxes rough stone specimens, charges $101.21:-

We understand from The Smedley Co. that you decline to
accept this property claiming excessive charges. Please advise if
our understanding is correct. If so have you a bill of lading that
names a rate.

Dear Sir:-

I return herewith bill of lading left here by your representative, an abstract of which I have taken and sent to our Gen'l Frt. Agent, informing him that the property covered thereby is left on our hands, account of alleged excessive freight charges, and asking that he take the matter up with line by which property was forwarded with a view to having freight charges reduced if possible. As there are several other lines interested, no doubt it will take some little time to bring about a consent to a reduction in the freight charges. In the meantime property is in our freight house on storage, and I fear by the time any reduction is made the charges for storage will more than offset it. I would suggest that you pay the freight charges as they now stand, remove the property, return the bill of lading to point of shipment and have rate inserted, which will then place you in a position to know what your over-charge is and then have claim presented against the line interested.

Yours truly,
