Dear Captain Hunt,— It gives me the greatest pleasure in stating my entire 

 approval of the manner in which you have so satisfactorily negotiated the 

 purchase of the stallion Langham for me for exijortation ; and that I shall be 

 only too glad to recommend you to any friends of mine requiring the services 

 of such an invaluable agency as yours. 



I cannot refrain from adding that to the most keen and practical judgment 

 in your operations on my behalf you have evinced a resolution in and capacity 

 for hard work that fairly astounded me, and I must say yovi are the most 

 indefatigable and hard-working man I ever had dealings with, and that I con- 

 sider your charges reasonable, honest, and hardly earned. 



I remain, yours obliged and sincerely. 

 Captain DE Verb Hunt, J. S. GOEDON.
