We are on the Father Marquette R. R., and also about five miles from Lake Michigan. Please let me know your best terms for handling my stuff on the Chicago market, and how promptly you remit after sales are completed.
I may have some peaches, apples and grapes for you, during the season, although I ship most of my fruit to Grand Rapids, where I have had a ready market for nearly four years.
Hoping to hear from you soon, I remain,
Yours truly,
Silas Marner.
