Dr Sirs

I have seen
the lot of octagon posts you have
sent us & am sorry to find
that they are pretty hard looking
specimens, and do not compare
favorably with your previous
work here. I shall depend on
your sending us something
better, for the balance of the lot,
or else I prefer you should
send none. Please give this
matter your attention, and oblige

Yours truly
J.W. Lovering

Dear Sir:

Your favor of the
28^th inst is at hand. If you will
send the Number of the Lot
referred to in the letter to me, I
will send you an estimate in de-
tail of what is needed to put
the lot in proper order, from
which you can order what
you see fit.

very Respt'y
James W Lovering
