Dear Sir
Yours of 15th Just at hand Regarding nails we have none on hand I except some 7. P Nelson bought no nails, said he would not buy them to sell here at the price use your own discretion about the nails. there is no profit in them. You will find some goods at Miller's wool dark grey for Ladies Sacks or drapes Nelson bought at 30 or 35 cents they had some at 25 cents. he thinks Miller's is the place. Get several pieces of goods for mens wear low price & dark color
