MR. JOSE RIZAL
DEAR FRIEND,
Enclosed is a bill of lading of a parcel that the firm A. Lucas Gendre of this city is sending you through the Messageries Maritimes consigned to the agent of that firm at Manila.
The said parcel contains the articles listed in the invoice that I have also the pleasure to send you. According to the letter of Messrs. A. Lucas Gendre and Company, you have authorized them to collect from me the cost of the invoice.
I paid for your account 98.75 francs.
I will appreciate it if you would write me acknowledging receipt of this as well as of the parcel and tell me if I have done right in paying for the invoice.
Yours affectionately,
V. VENTURA
