It really was refreshing to talk with you when I
was in Boston. I was very distraught from business argu¬
ments. It was a real plessere to have seen what a fine
library you have and what interesting items you handle along
with your numismatic business.
Here is the situation on the items we talked about.
Valentine*s pamphlet on fractional currency I do not
have in the Boyd printing but do have in the second printing
by Mehl. Therefore, send it to me.
You had the Coin Book by Homans with an l8?$ date on
the title and mine is 18?2. Since I collect every edition,
I would like you to send that to me to see if there is any
difference.
I do not have the pamphlet by Lee of California
Souvenir Gold.
I would like very much for you to send me your Parmelee
and I can have mine rebound and sent to you. I like to have
these in original bindings and maybe you would do me that
favor.
I find that I have two Allender scales but do not have
the later one which lacks the $3 piece. You have a nice one
and I would like you to price it end send it.
As to your other Allender scales, I can have a machin¬
ist make brass weights for them, if you want me to do it,
as thst would make them much more saleable. If you send me
the scales then I could ascertain the proper counterbalance
and develop that project.

Mr. Ralph Goldstone
I am enclosing a check for 2£.00 for the test scale
which I took with me." There were two additional scales which
were on your window sill and X wondered whether these were
for American coins. If so I would be interested.
I decided that the Italian scale was out of my field
end although it was beautiful I should not expand In that
direction.
As I told you when I was in Boston, I will pay you
in money for the things I buy or will be glad to send you
thinps in exchange - like Colonial currency or coins. I
fully realize you are in business to make a living and expect
you to have a reasonable benefit in any exchanges.
Kindest regards.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Ralph?
When I did not hear from you I realized that
your diverticulitus must have caused you additional
trouble and called your office several times and found
that you did not answer.
I will buy the Lee on California Fractional
Gold for $25.00, as we agreed.
I an very anxious to find out what Heath
Detectors you have for sale as I have some on approval
which are not in nice enough condition and I an trying
to get all the varieties.
Would you be nice enough to give us your un¬
listed number at hone as I can call you there after
you are at home. Our company has an unlimited long
distance available to me after hours and that raakes
talking very easy.
I have a lovely group of Virginia Colonial
notes which I have been asked to sell for others and
you will recall I mentioned it to you. I will ship it
to you as soon as you are ready.
If you are able, would you please let me know
when I can talk to you.
Sincerely yours.

Dear Eric:
I have been trying to reach Ralph Goldstone for you and
today was our lucky day. I finally talked to him this morning. He
says that he will be in the hospital Wednesday morning for X-rays
but will probably only be detained there for a few hours. He will
then contact me at our office and let me know where you can reach
him later during the time that you will be in Boston.
He did not want to give me his home number as he says that
his wife is not well and would not remember if you did call him.
See you on Thursday.
Very truly yours
RING AND COHEN

Dear Ralph*
I have not forgotten about you, but I have not finished
working over the material which I took at the convention.
$
X am enclosing herewith checks aggregating $516.50 to S (7
apply on account. There will be plenty more coming.
I may ask you to send the rest of the Heath Detectors to
me as some you have retained are quite defective and might be able
to complete others which X have on approval, in any event, most
of them on hand will be acquired.
All of the sheets of paper money will be bought.
With kindest personal regards,
sincerely yours.
