Dear Madam:

Our letters of February 15th and March 15th have brought no
reply from you. Since they have not been returned by the Post
Office we must presume that you received them.

You naturally wish to keep your credit clear. We wish to have
it clear. It is really a mutual affair. Will you not send a
check and keep the account on a pleasant basis?

Very truly yours,
Stone Brothers,
(Handwritten) _James Miller_,
Collection Manager.
The amount is $29.36.

we shall take definite steps for the legal collection of your
account. May we hear from you at once?
