Dear Sir:

Attention Mr. S. W. Rutherford, Sec'y-Treas.

I have your letter of February 26th, calling attention to the fact that your records show that my subscription expired with the 1922 number, and enclosing bill for $4.00 covering subscription from January, 1922, to January, 1924.

By reference to my own records I find that on January 9, 1922, I sent you a check for $2.00 for subscription to the Journal one year in advance, and in return received your receipt dated January 10, 1922, reading as follows: "Received of Mr. Charles W. Chesnutt, $2.00 for renewal of subscription." This would seem to indicate that your record in this respect is not correct, and that I owe you only $2.00, subscription for 1923 in advance, for which I enclose a check. The Journal is serving a very useful purpose and I am very glad to get it, and read it with interest.

Sincerely yours, Chas. W. Chesnutt. CWC/FL
