CHICAGO, Oct. 31, 1888. 



S. M. COLCORD, Dover, Mass.: 



My dear Sir, Your interesting letter of 

 the 2 gth is here, and I would like to publish it. 

 I like these letters that give exact facts in a 

 definite way, and enter into the full details. 

 But it has occurred to me that it would do the 

 most good to you and the public by reserving 

 it until our number of November 1 7. We are 

 to issue 100,000 of that number, full count. 

 20,000 of them, at least, will go to dairy and 

 stock men. We are willing to do whatever we 

 can editorially to make known anything that is 

 really sound, and given for the benefit of our 

 readers; but it seems to us that you ought not 

 to lose this opportunity of presenting some 

 more definite advertisement, and, if possible, 

 some cut of your governor, etc. 



Yours very truly, 



HOWARD & WILSON PUBLISHING Co., 

 C. H. HOWARD, Editor. 



We note what you say in regard to publish- 

 ing a book. It is an excellent plan, and you 

 ought to carry it out.
