No. 9. 

 G. P. BnRNHAM, Esq.: 



I saw a cage of superb Cochin-China fowls from your 

 yard, yesterday, en route to Mobile. Can you duplicate 

 them ? If so, at what price ? I had understood that a 



Mr. kept choice fowls. I visited his place, but saw 



none there that seemed worth the taking away. If you can 

 send me such a trio as I saw at Adams & Co.'s, let me 

 know it immediately, and your price for them. How shall 

 I remit you ? Yours, &c. 



No. 10. 

 Mr. Burnham: 



I enclose you one hundred dollars, by check on Shoe 

 and Leather Dealers' Bank, Boston (No. 417), to your 

 order, for the fine fowls you describe in yours received this 

 day. They should be good ones, as I have no doubt they 

 are. Forward, at once, 



And believe me, 



Yours, 



* I never heard from this eustomer again, and should now be glad to 

 know if he ever got his " munney " !
