Dear Sir.
Yours of the 18th/ inst to hand. There certainly must be a mistake somewhere, as I think, if I remember correctly, all charter members paid, not only their dues but initiation dues as well,- as we needed money at that time.-
Write to Mr. Lar[?] in regard to same. as I think his books will show I paid
