Mess. Jno H & Chas. Kennicott

Gentlemen

Early the
past winter I sent you an order for
fruit & ornamental trees. In your re-
-ply you desired me for fear of accident
to repeat the order at a subsequent time_
Having preserved no copy of that one I
shall have to request you to fill the
following--provided--can--see-- that----
--the--trees--are--delivered--on--the--cars--of --the----
--Cent --R.R.-- at Chicago------- - Any unusual
expense you will of course charge to me
but unless you can see to their delivery
at the Depot at Chicago I should fear
to risk the R. Roads_

Please find on the 4th page of this
sheet a plat of our Co. My place
is directly north of Odin 27 miles_
and Odin is the station to which all
matters from the north for me
are sent -

Yours truly
John P. Reynolds W.
