My Dear Sir

I wrote you last week, and also the week previous in regard to the Post Office matter. As I have not received any letter from you I fear they have both miscarried. The parties owning the store, are very anxious to know if any steps have been taken in the matter. Please write me at a[crossed out] your earliest convenience.

Yours very truly

Thos J Barr
