 Dear Sir : Tour favor of 11th at hand. I shall be pleased to take the 

 case of salmon eggs free of charge to Havre. The steamer will sail early 

 in the morning of the 20th, therefore case must be here on the 19th. 

 Mark case to the consigner's address in Havre, and send it to me with 

 all charges prepaid. There is an ice-box on our steamer belonging to i^arty 

 who ship " fresh beef" and I will endeavor to get him to allow me to 

 j)ut the case in there, where no doubt it will be in good condition on its 

 arrival in Havre. Mark case distinctly and notify me of its shipment to 

 me, and I will send receipt to you and consignee in Havre. 

 Yours truly, 



LOUIS DE BEBIAK 

 Mr. Fred Mather, 



271 High Street, Newarli, N. J. 



P. S. — If case is destined for Paris we can notify our agent in Havre 

 to forward, you guaranteeing charges between Havre and Paris in 

 case receiver refuses.
