Kurtz, H. A., Baltimore, M(ary)l(and) to Acker, Merrall (and) Condit Company, Balimore, M(ary)l(and), 1919/0506

The letter refers to Hurley's claim for $60.00 alleging the loss of a shipment of Liquor. Hurley's shipment was stolen from the Washington D.C. Express office after it had been placed "in the on hand department" awaiting call of the consignee. The Acker Company and the consignee were immediately notified as soon as the shipment reached the express office's on Hand Department. Since the shipment remained on hand at the owner's risk, the express office cannot assume any liability in this instance, and must decline to entertain the claim. Ty. L.S. : 1p : 4to and Ty.
