Jany 9th 61 W Hardman

Dear Sir,

I received from Bishop Polk the specific sum of $57.40 to pay a certain Bill of freight due by the University of the South to the T.C. & RR Compy and not having the exact amount convenient I sent $60 by Mr. T to pay that Bill, supposing that you would follow your usual custom of and return me the change, which Change was coming to me as my own private property, as in allowing it to be appropriated to University or any other purpose without my instructions. You have my good friend done very wrong, as no doubt it as no doubt it will now appear to you.

I return the Bill sent by the Compy in which my funds are erroneously used to the Credit of the University which of course will enable you to [restore?] to [me?] my funds. [and will thank you when ?] [my just dues?]

On the day I paid the Bill of $57.40 _was paid I wrote to [Mr? Wm?] [Williams?], informing him for Bishop Polk, Why the additional [Charge?] of $10 _ is not paid [w/ ?] p[?]t- __ The reason why Bishop Polk did not give me the funds to pay the additional charge of $10.94, is made R[?] by [?]tt[?] to [Mr? Wm?] J[ohnson? acobson?], which is no doubt fully satisfactoy to him.
