Piqua. Miami C. O Dec 11^th 1865

George. Carter. Esq.

 

                                    Dr Sir. I wrote you some time since that your Patent had come and for you to send fees. And not hearing from you I write to say that as I am closing up business for this Year you must send the fees on by return Mail or I must return the Patent where I got it.”

                                                Yours Respectfully
