Description

McCormick expresses his gratitude to Hodgdon for offering his receipt book to his works. The receipt book should be entrusted to the care of McCormick's porter whose fidelity is beyond question. McCormick will sign those receipts that have been completed. (Since the signing of the receipt book, the porter became sick so another man will be entrusted with it.)
