 (Salutation) 

 DEAR SIR: 



(Body) 



Mr. George Williams of your city has called to interest 

 me in the purchase of a large tract of timber and mining 

 lands in Northern Wisconsin. Mr. Williams impresses 

 me favorably, and his propositions appear quite reason- 

 able on their face. 



I have, however, deferred giving him a final answer 

 until I hear from you regarding his standing in business 

 circles in Chicago. He speaks of you as an acquaintance, 

 and since I claim you as a friend, your advice will be 

 as welcome as it must be valuable. 



(Complimentary Close) 

 I am, dear sir, 



Very sincerely yours, 

 (Signature) 



WILLIAM HUTCHESON.
