Dear Sirs,
This in an invoice for goods which will be sent to you on the Great Northern Railway. The goods leave by train at 9:30 tonight, and will be at King's Cross Railway Station at 4:30 tomorrow afternoon. The goods are in fifty boxes. You need to deliver these boxes to Carfax, near Purfleet, as soon as you get them from the Goods Station at King's Cross. The house where you must take the goods is empty at present, but the keys (all of which are labelled) are included with this letter.

Please put the boxes in the partially ruined part of the house. This is the part marked `A' on the rough map we have also included. You will easily find this part because it is a very old chapel. Our client wants you to deliver the boxes as soon as possible. Therefore please have teams of horses ready to carry the boxes from King's Cross as soon as they arrive. To prevent any delays in payment, here is a cheque for ten pounds. Please let us know that you have received this. If the work costs less than ten pounds, you can return the rest of the money. If it costs more, we shall immediately send a cheque for what we owe you.

When you go, you are to leave the keys in the main hall of the house. The proprietor will take them when he enters the house with his own key. Please do not think we are impolite if we ask you to work as fast as you possibly can.

Yours Faithfully
Samuel F. Billington & Son
