Boston, MA

A part of the accounts have been received from New York and a messenger has gone for the balance, but it will be impossible to close my matters this week. Kennedy and Frost are quite busy checking and comparing our accounts with the New York books all right so far on our part. New York has largely overpaid some parties.
