Dear Madam:-

We acknowledge receipt of your
request to send you a statement quarterly
of the Trust for your benefit instead of
semi-annually as heretofore, which we
shall be pleased to do, and beg to remain,

Yours very truly,

Assistant Secretary.

New York, Nov. 22, 1923.

Mr. Owen H. Smith,
Bank of New York & Trust Co.,
Madison Avenue & 63 Street,
New York City.

My dear Mr. Smith:

When sending me a receipt of the
money which you send to Kandinsky's relatives in
Russia, as well as to Kandinsky himself in Ger-
many, will you be so kind as to send me duplicate
sheets, so that I may send one to Kandinsky direct
myself. In this way, he receives two notices,
one from the Bank and one from me.

I feel this is especially important
since we must get a written affidavit in case the
money has not been received, in order to reclaim
it.

With appreciation, believe me

Very sincerely,

January 6th, 1924.

My dear Mr. Smith:

I had a letter from my cousin, Mr. Kellner, asking me if I could not arrange to have the money reach him the first of the month. Will you be so kind therefore and send the next draft by the 20th so that it reaches him by the first of February ?

I notice that you simply state that you had sent a draft #1794 on the Dresdner Bank, Bremer, Germany, to the order of the firm of Konrad Kellner. I hope you sent word to my cousin, Mr. Fritz Kellner, that this sum was for the education of Willie Mahler. I presume you did, but you did not mention it in the letter.

You will be interested to know that the Delaware & Hudson paid their dividend for the Reneselaer & Saratoga R.R.Co. on January first. They now pay January and July first. Also that I had it entered as the Reneselaer & Saratoga, not as the Delaware & Hudson, which caused the misunderstanding. So that is straightened out.

With kind greetings,

Sincerely yours,

Enclosed please find receipts Nos. 171604 and

to Mrs. Andrewsky and Mrs. Stephanova.

The above remittances complete the amounts to be
sent to Mrs. Andrewsky and Mrs. Stephanova, with the ex-
ceptions of $3.95 due Mrs. Andrewsky and $2.70 due
Mrs. Stephanova, which cannot be sent via the American
Express Company foreign money orders as these orders are
only issued in multiples of $5.00. This does not take in
the balance of $40. which Mrs. Stephanova claims she did
not receive, as we think better not to send it until we
hear again from her.

BANK OF NEW YORK & TRUST COMPANY

Madison Avenue Branch,
Madison Avenue at Sixty-Third Street

NEW YORK

Dear Sirs,

I am in receipt of your registered letter
of 14-th December last and am very sorry to inform you
that to my greatest astonishment and sorrow the Twenty
Dollars Bank Note mentioned therein as enclosure was not
found by me. I found only the usual receipt form and
your envelope.

On immediate investigation made by me at our
Post Office I found out that the letter was not opened
by them at all, and in fact the seals were intact, and
it is very suspicious how could the Bank Note, if en-
closed, disappear.

I was drawn attention by the Post Office
to the fact that according to well known and universal
rules, money cannot and should not be sent by registered
mail, and should be sent "insured", with declaration
of value.

Please investigate the matter & refund me
the amount in question. Enclosed I return you the
receipt unsigned.

Please advise MISS KATHERINE S. DREIER of
the fact of the money having gone astray and please
note that MONEY IN FUTURE SHOULD BE SENT ME EXCLUSIVELY
THROUGH A BANK, because I consider even, the fact of
receipt of money by insured mail was due only to luck.

RE YOUR REGISTERED MAIL SHIPMENT OF CURRENCY
VALUED AT $20. DESPATCHED UNDER DATE OF
DEC. 14, 1923 ADDRESSED TO MRS. ALEXANDRA
FEDOROVNA STEPHANOVA, ODESSA, RUSSIA.

We duly received your letter under date of
the 31st ultimo advising a report by the addressee to
the effect that the registered letter as above insured
under our certificate No. C6022, has not been received
by her.

If you will send us the original post office
registry receipt which was issued for this letter at the
time of mailing, together with copies of such correspon-
dences as you may have received from the addressee,
certifying to the non-receipt by her of the letter, we
will be pleased to remit you at this time for the value
involved pending the outcome of the investigations which
we will request to have undertaken by the post office
authorities here. In consideration of our undertaking
to place you in funds for the value of the shipment upon
your sending us the registry receipt and correspondence,
it is to be understood that you will subsequently obtain

and send us at the earliest possible time the remaining
documents customarily required in support of a claim of
this description, viz:

Affidavit by the senders or their employees
certifying to the contents of the letter
at the time of depositing for registry
and mailing with the post office in New
York City.

Affidavit by the addressee certifying that she
has never received the letter or currency en-
closed therewith and has no knowledge whatever
as to the disposition or whereabouts of the
said registered letter and contents.

We appreciate that the amount involved is
small and it is not our wish to put you to any unnecessary
inconvenience in the matter. However, the receipts and
documents we have asked for are required by us for the
purpose of investigation by the post office authorities
and the recovery of such indemnity as might be due on
account of the loss of the letter.

awaiting your further favor, we beg to remain

BE YOUR REGISTERED MAIL SHIPMENT OF CURRENCY
VALUED AT $20. DESPATCHED UNDER DATE OF DEC.
14, 1923 ADDRESSED TO MRS. ALEXANDRA FEDOROVNA
STEPHANOVA, ODESSA, RUSSIA.

We duly received your letter under date of the
15th instant enclosing a copy of the addressee's communica-
tion to you of January 9th last.

The advices of the addressee as to the condition
of the letter when delivered to her have been very carefully
noted and if the seals were intact, as stated, and the
envelope bore no evidence of having been opened or tampered
with, the loss or theft of the money could hardly be
reasonably considered as having taken place in the mails.
Our registered mail insurance, of course, only provides
protection and indemnification for losses occurring while
packages or letters are in the mails or in the custody of
the post office authorities. A loss occurring prior to
registry at this end or after delivery to the addressee
would not constitute a proper insurance claim.

It is observed that you have requested the
addressee to return to you the envelope which she received

Bank of New York & -2-
Trust Co.

Feb. 21, 1924

and in view of the doubt which apparently exists as to the
circumstances surrounding the loss, we presume you will
consider it in order for us to defer further consideration
as respects an adjustment or allowance until you have heard
from Mrs. Stephanova.

Although there is no evidence yet available to
indicate that the loss occurred in the mails, we are
nevertheless advising the post office inspectors and request-
ing that they undertake such investigations and tracings as
the case may warrant.

awaiting your further advices, we beg to remain

I feel that he is now old enough to receive the money
direct and as he is beginning to support himself, I have been
able to reduce the sum, which heretofore was Mk.250.00 that
you sent to Mr. Fritz Kellner at Bremen.

Will you kindly let me know whether I am not correct in
thinking that when the Bank notifies him - for I believe there
is no American Express Company in Heidelberg - that he can in
turn notify the Bank where to send the money to. Maerzgasse 7
is his mother's home and therefore a permanent address, but
he personally has accepted a position for the autumn as assist-

Dear Mr. Clark:

On July 5th I wrote you and asked you about the possibility of sending money to Germany. You wrote me on July 7th telling me that a hundred marks at that time would be equivalent to $30.00.

I am writing today to ask you to send 500 marks to:

Professor Ewald Mataré
Poststrasse 53
Büderich/Neuss, Germany.

He wrote me that he is under the impression that I could either send it to him direct at this address, or if you prefer to send it to his bank, it is as follows:

For Professor Ewald Mataré, Konto: 61405
Der Rhein-Westfälischen Bank
Düsseldorf, Germany.

Could you attend to this as soon as possible and charge it to my account?

I personally would prefer to have you send it to his bank, as he is often called to Austria and other sections for lectures.

Thanking you for giving this your prompt attention, believe me,

KSD/on

MANHATTAN FERRY AT BROOKLYN SLIP, 1835

The half-mile strait between Manhattan and Brooklyn, known
as the East River, has been, for centuries, one of the world's busiest
waterways. Indians were crossing the "river" in canoes long before
the Dutch settled Bruijkleen Colonie in 1636.

The first paid ferryman on record was one Cornelius Dircksen,
a nearby Long Island farmer, who transported travelers in a skiff
between Peck Slip and the Brooklyn shore for three stivers in
wampum. Would-be passengers summoned Dircksen with a horn
which hung on a tree near the water's edge. In 1660 Governor
Stuyvesant offered to provide a ferry-boat for the villagers of
Brooklyn as soon as they numbered twenty-five families.

From the ferry landing on the Brooklyn side ran a road, once
an Indian trail, which led to points throughout Long Island.
Known for generations as Ferry Road, the name was changed to

Fulton Street in honor of Robert Fulton, inventor of the steamboat, who established the first steam ferry between Manhattan and Brooklyn. In 1814, Fulton and William Cutting, his brother-in-law, were granted a lease to operate a ferry between Brooklyn and Beekman Slip. Twin ferries were put into service which made crossings in from four to eight minutes and as many as forty trips a day.

For the accommodation of travelers arriving from or going to distant points on Long Island, inns and stables grew up at the foot of Fulton Street. This was the nucleus of Brooklyn's business section. Stage coaches ran to Flatbush in 1830 but when Brooklyn was officially made a city in 1834 most of it was still at Brooklyn Ferry.

To meet the increased demands of the rapidly expanding population, scores of ferries were eventually put into operation providing the only regular transportation until the Brooklyn Bridge was opened in 1883.
