Is it not most time
to send out some
bills? I am running
short of funds.

Dear Sir --

Mr J. Perham Jr., Lot 1464,
has called for his bill. I find no charge against that
lot on my books; if you have a charge please make out
the bill in detail & send to me.

In your receipts of money at the gate some of the amounts
are placed directly to the Labor & Material Account, and other
sums are carried to the same account; also to the credit of the
Lot in the ledger -- What I desire is, that you should put
against each item that is to be credited on the ledger such mark
as will enable me to distinguish it from other credits -- for
instance; you credit in your acct. $5. for Wood Sold; that sum
is credited in my cash book to Labor & Materials -- But, if you
receive money for reforms or improvements on lots, or for care for
the year, you will also at some other time (before or after the
recups of the money) render me an a/c, or bills, made from
the order book, and such amts. charged from the a/c, bills, or
order book, I shall place to the debit of that a/c in the Ledger,
if I know when it should so be placed. -- Don't be troubled about
this; I will explain more clearly the first time you are in
my office.

Yours truly --

H.B. Mackintosh
