Dear Sir:Will you be kind enough to inform me the rate of exchange for the gold dollars when Dr. Green bought his groceries from America last fall, and also the present rate of exchange? I want to pay him for some thing which I bought from him. The cost of them is $9.20. Please tell me how much it will be in the Japanese yensatsu. When you have a chance to send some boxes to America will you please inform me about it? I wish to send a little box to Boston. Please let me know how much I am owing to you now. I shall be glad to pay it to you as soon as I receive money from America. Wishing you and Mrs. Jencks a happy new years. Yours truly
Joseph H. Neesima
