Maginn, James P., Cincinnati, Ohio, to James Alphonsus McMaster, New York, New York, 1870 July 7

 Item
Identifier: CMMA I-1-n

Scope and Contents

Maginn asks McMaster's advice concerning the right or wrong of a transaction. The transaction concerns a man who purchased yard goods and then found that the ticket on one bundle showed fewer yards than was found by actual measurement. He claims that the amount over what he paid for belongs to him because of his trouble in measuring, while all short measure should be repaid by the seller. The seller of course, objects, claiming that the amount over should be returned and the amount short should be replaced. McMaster is asked to print his decision in the Freeman's Journal, but without reference to Maginn's name, or address. P.S. Maginn gives his full address, and offers his services in case there is anything he can do for McMaster in Cincinnati. :: I-1-n A.L.S. 4pp. 8vo.
