Dr Sir
We have recd notice of protest of Chas Scranton note $1550 due July 1. By memorandum of that note given to us it was payable at the office of Phelps, Dodge & Co New York and we left the funds with Mr. M. W. Scott last week to place them to meet the payt of the note. We presume that our memorandum was incorrect but hope ere this that Mr. Segus has learned when the funds [unclear] & that the note is paid. Mr. Dodge was present when the [unclear] arranged for the funds. But if not yet paid please send the note to Messrs. Phelps, Dodge & Co who will pay the amt.
Very Resp your obt svt
Geo W. Scranton
