July 26, 1947Dear Mr. Myers:

I am having a time with Curium. Mr. McFadden wants to make his statement for the year, and his figures, your figures and mine do not agree.

As far as I can tell you left out the 125 pounds sterling which Mr. McFadden deposited December 17, 1946 in the Ottoman Bank. I notified you of this in my letter of January 25, 1947. The amount appears as $1,503.61 (to it has been added the $1000 about which I also notified you January 25) in the March balance sheets, but the $503.61 is missing from both the Receipts and Disbursements on your statement to him.

Can you help me straighten this out? I'm practically desperate.

Sincerely yours,

Handwritten: signature
