Let х denote a primitive character modulo k. Using two different representations for Dirichlet L-functions, Apostol [1] recently derived a representation for

involving the sums

where m is a positive integer. Furthermore, if х(r) = (r|p)the residue class character modulo the odd prime p, he derived a representation for Mm(х) involving the sums
