Title
Either I Cannot Read or I Cannot Write, Etc.
Description
Morris observes that if the storekeeper is correct respecting the accuracy of the duplicate invoice, then either Morris cannot read or he cannot write and the truth is that he can do both. But since the invoice reflects the exact quantity of clothing received, it is not a matter of much moment. The coats and vests have not come perhaps because the materials may be sent in their stead. That would be satisfactory since there are enough tailors in the Company to make the coats and vests.
