Here are the transcriptions of the oaragraphs for lesson 8.

1. Ted: Today we are able to give details of that sale of fur coats we had in May. In four days we sold all the furs we had. Several people said that a fur coat could equal its weight in gold. The sales force had to close the doors of our building two hours late on all four days. Yours,

2. Ray: This is to let you know that I called on your people late on Sunday with the note you put in the mail for them. They told me they had met your debts for you, and that they paid for the repairs of your boat. All your things are kept in the place you left them. Your people are waiting for you, they told me. I believe you owe it to them to be on your way with no delay. Yours,
If you have any questions, please let me know.
