Dear Sir: V.'e thank you for the courtesy of your favor of the 8th inst., explaining recent and future drafts against the Maryland State normal School Build¬ ing Commission’s account with us. While we regret to see the account closed or even diminished, we appreciate the necessity for it and in this connection beg leave to inquire if it would not oe possible to return the bond we filed as depository so that we may secure the return premium through its can¬ cellation. The account ie now just over $10,000.00 and we feel that this Conmany could certainly be ac¬ cepted as depository for that amount without counter se¬ curity to the depositor. EV.?*K,
