| Dear Sir, |
| Your valued funds of 12th inst to hand
ordering fifty Barrels oil, since sending you the twenty Barrels the
price has advanced to Eight Dollars per gall, he telegraphed you
desiring to know whether he should fill your order at that price
have not received reply. There is no stock here & everything
advancing. It is with great difficulty that he can procure Barrels
or labor as for some time an attack has been expected. |
