Please translate prices hereafter.
I don't add too well in plain American.

:10:04
I haven't a prayer
of mastering bilingual arithmetic.

:10:08
Yours, Helene Hanff.
:10:18
I hope "madam" doesn't mean there
what it means here.

:10:28
Helene Hanff.
:10:29
She sent us $6.
:10:33
She's 70 cents over.
:10:46
Dear Miss Hanff: Your $6 arrived safely.
:10:51
We'd feel easier if you sent remittances
by postal money order in the future.

:10:57
This would be safer for you
than entrusting dollar bills to the mails.

:11:06
We're very happy
you liked the Stevenson so much.

:11:09
We have sent off the New Testaments
with an invoice listing the amount due...

:11:14
...in both pounds and dollars.
:11:16
We hope you will be pleased with them.

What kind of a black,
Protestant Bible is this!

:11:34
Kindly inform the Church of England
they have loused up...

:11:37
...the most beautiful prose ever written.
:11:40
Who told them to tinker
with the Vulgate Latin?

:11:42
They'll burn for it, mark my words.
:11:46
It's nothing to me, I'm Jewish myself.
:11:49
But I have a Catholic and a Methodist
sister-in-law...

:11:52
...a whole raft of Presbyterian cousins
through my great-uncle Abraham...

:11:56
...who was converted, and an aunt
who's a Christian Science healer.
