| Major, |
| I find that the enclosed invoice is not
what I want to make my returns correspond with the facts. I have
altered it to do so and would thank you to invoice accordingly. |
| I regret to cause you so much trouble and
hope my ignorance of the forms required of me will end with this
transaction. |
| I remain, Major, |
| Very respectfully |
| Your obdt servant |
