I have no doubt at all about the matter you refer to, & consider your claims as I have told you before most preposterous. I placed no butterflies in your hands for sale. You did not sell them, or find a purchaser. I therefore positively deny your claim to any commission, & shall take no further notice of any communication on the subject.
