Claims Committee of the City Council,
Ft. Worth, Texas.

Gentlemen:-

We beg to hand you under this cover statement for $10.47 this
being the expense incurred by us in a shipment ot Mr. John B. Hawley,
City Eng., an according to instructions given us by Mr. M. Dean, and
authorized agent. Mr Dean instructed us emphatically to make shipment
with 3/L attached, said although we instructed him that we referred to
ship open account to the city of Ft. Worth. However, he informed us that
these were instructions that he had received and we therefore shipped
accordingly. Upon delivery of shipment Mr. Cawley immediately refused to
accept same, stating that we had insulted the city's standing, we express-
ed our desire to release shipment at once and charge same to the City of
Ft. Worth, to this, however, Mr. Hawley did not accede. Our expense is
for freight and a ladder which Mr. Dean secured on the strength of this
order, we therefore hold the city of Ft. Worth liable for damages in this
instance on the basis that we have complied with the instructions given
us by your authorized agent Mr. Dean. We trust that the city will reim-
burse us for this loss.

Thanking you for your favor, we are,

Yours very respectfully,

THE ART WALL PAPER MILLS.
