I send you this list, not that I am a merchant, and want 

 your trade, but just to help you along right, if you should 

 need my help. 



Again, I say, if you would rather buy than make your 

 own outfit, or part of it, look over these articles and select 

 what you need, and name them separately, and the prices 

 to each, and then all, and send me pay for them in P. O. 

 order or registered letter, and be plain in your name, town 

 and county, and you will get the goods promptly, unless we 

 are out and have to wait a few days to have them made; but 

 I will try to keep a supply on hand all the time. 



Yours truly, 



FARMER MILES. 

 Charleston, Coles County, Ills.
