DIAMOND MERCHANT,
150 BOWERY, COR. BROOME ST. New York, Sept 10 1887 Dear Walt;
The inclosed explains itself, Either a forgery as well as theft has been committed or else you have had happen to you what has happened to me and I'm only 50 yrs old—
Viz: I have rec'd a draft, endorsed it, deposited it, and forgot to give my customer credit for it. It happens, and will happen a thousand times.
An interruption, a call of a friend, or a dozen other things will make me do what
they will never believe they have done until forced to. Maybe this Postal Card will
be a
reminder to you.
I am coming over to your celebration next week and will help you straighten out the matter.
I have written to Mr Shields and asked him to send me the draft.
Alma and the boys return today.
With Love Sincerely yrs JH Johnston
