McAllister & Co refused to discount 5% for cash & as thee directed provided that discount was taken off - it was to be paid - we have supposed that thee wished the money paid where it would command that disct & have passed the whole balance over to Cornelius & Co. We mentioned these circumstances to C & Co & if thee still wishes — page two — McAllister & Co note paid - they will attend to it. Klemm & Bro said their note had run too long to take off 5% & Exchange also - but they would allow 5% – which me thoughts fair & so settled the note. The patterns we send by the same mail with this letter. - We presume it will rate as a pamphlet at 2 1/2 cts per ounce - postage. Enclosed in a letter it would be 20 cts per ounce - Accept our thanks for our share And believe us                             Thy friends                 GM & GR Justice & Co — page three — Philada 11/12/"46 Esteemed Uncle     I add a few lines to say we are all in good health & that the family desire their love to you - We heard of your word loss at Baltimore some time since & were truly sorry for it - as you say Baltimore has been an unfortunate place for you - I have trensferenced your letter to me & the funds to our firm for the convenience of taking receipts & making entrees in our Books & hope what I have done will give satisfaction - Calvin Bennett paid us a visit a short time since He is about to open store in Johnstown Pa & came on for the purpose of purchasing goods - He said you ought to have stopped to see him - He would have been glad to see you - Louise insinuates that crochet work could be done quite as well in Philada as Louisville & sent out without any difficulty if Uncle Henry was disposed to employ some of his poor relations - which means I suppose that a certain industrious sister in law of mine is somewhat ambitious to do something towards maintaining herself & is rather fond of that kind of fancy work - Give our kind regards to Charles and take your own share also. - We hope C & her little one are well & that the present will find you recovered from your cold - Your nephew & friend         A B Justice
