Letter from Chick, Armijo & Co., St. Louis, handwritten by W. H. Chick, addressed to N. T. Armijo in New York City, dated 9 Jan. 1867, a second letter with same addresses of January 18th 1867, and a third of January 24, 1867., 1865-1947

 Item — Box: 1, Folder: 23

Scope and Contents

The first must have included a balance sheet for the prior year showing a profit of $2,632.70, and regretting that they have not made a better showing. Since the first of July the business had not been meeting expenses. The second was in reply to Armijo's of the 14th of Jan. and outlines how Armijo's account stands both in St. Louis and Kansas City. His account at St. Louis had a credito of $60,029.66, at Kansas City, $6,883.31 leaving $57,599.97 which left Armijo $7,599.91 above the amount of the capital invested there. "The other partners have more money in the concern than you have at present even without your drawing out any..." The third letter was written to correct an error in the second, charging Armijo with $6,183.31; that amount should not have been charged against him plus they thought there might be an additional error of $2800, but they could not be certain until they heard from Kansas City.
