Dear Mariah
I am saddened to hear of you problem.   I have had many dealing with the museum
store over the years and have never had any problems of any kind.   In fact
once my mail man trashed my copy of the Nautilus upon delivery and they simply
sent me a replacement with no hassle at all.

I have a great deal of faith in the integrity of the institution.  Although I
do not know the communications you had on the matter with them. If indeed they
did cash the check it you can be assured the whole matter was most likely a
clerical error.  I know in my own business that when we make mistakes… they are
usually big ones and we usually don’t find out about them till someone is upset.

Sincerely,
Leslie
