Your night message of the 26th received, reading as
follows,- "Your letter twenty second. Offer ten cars new crop .
guaranteed fully equal number one rough from other shippers here,
hundred twenty five dollars, delivered Ludlow, cash transaction."
The answer was deferred owing to the absence of our Mr.Hubbard
whom we expected in today. It is now probable that he will not be l
here for a day or two. I therefore write to acknowledge receipt,
· and say it will be referred tc him on his return to the office.
