Emby, in part: "I have understood from Lieut. Ferguson that Mr. E. G. Booth of Nottoway City, Va. has requested that we should write to you for such articles as we need. There are three our us here, two of which are related to Mr. Booth…if you would be kind enough to send us fifteen dollars. We will be responsible to Mr. Booth for the amount if you should send it. We would like to have a check if it will be as convenient to you…". The original stamped transmittal cover is included and is docketed by Mrs. Emby indicating that she sent $15.00 four days after receiving this letter! Both VG.
