New York 1877 June 20

Dear sir,

I regret to find that in my previous estimate of the amounts payable this year, I had forgotten several bills which I had already paid which aggregate some $150. I now send a schedule of my June accounts, which must be very nearly correct, in which I have inserted nothing which by any construction could be considered an account of my own personally. The total amounts to $ 779.71, being 423.79 in excess of the amount allowed me. I have omitted a bill for some stationery, etc. which I have ordered, as neither the things nor the bills have yet been received.

The bills marked with a star have actually been paid (less $5 in one case), & adding $25 for other amounts paid out, we have $278.63 paid by me. In addition to that I have deposited $40 in Berlin to pay bills with

June abstract  $779.71

"         pay       239.17
                         ________

                    1018.94

Balance against me    272.25
                                  ________                                  

Amount needed          746.63

Dr. Porter desires me to omit from the abstract and pay separately those bills for which vouchers cannot be had without delay. However this may be arranged, the same amount will be needed.

Yours very respectfully

C. S. Peirce
