Subject

Description

Handwritten correspondence on J. Steinberg Dry Goods letterhead. [Also a draft, many crossed out words, seems Steinberg struggled with tenses and word order at times. also rather abrupt in the manner of the last few lines: “You will kindly Please credit me for the amt and you will oblige yours truly.” crossing off “Please” indicates Steinberg was aiming for a more assertive tone. Also of note in the illegible date, appears to be in yiddish)]. Corresponds to Statement dated April 28, 1886.
