My dear Sir,

I feel much mortified at my long neglect of your note of Nov^r 27^th [18]67, inquiring where you "can procure such a jet as is in the Lawn Fountain". --

First let me thank you for the beautiful "Handbook for Greenwood" by Mr Cleveland. It is executed in a style of rare elegance.

I was unusually engaged in the winter in preparation &c. connected with the removal of our office, and since being here have found difficulties in replying lucidly to the question, owing to the fact that the jet, while in use in two or three places, was made by persons now away. Still it is thought by two or three of whom I have inquired that it can be easily produced.

I have finally been advised to refer you to Mott's Iron Works 266 Water St, New York, & enclose the card of Messrs Lockwood & Lamb giving the reference. If you have any difficulty of getting it made there, and wish one, I have no doubt they can do it here. I understand that it is a very simple thing: it might be called "the reversed umbrella jet". If I can be of further aid, command my services.

Very truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
