Title

A Deficiency of Shoes, Shirts, and Overalls

Description

Stevens notes the deficiency in the quantity of shoes, shirts, and overalls in the clothing he forwarded to Niagara. He claims that the packages were never opened while in his possession. The mistake must have been made at the time they were packed or the articles were stolen after they were opened to dry after they were dropped in the lake.
