Sir,
I send my coachman to consult with you as to the style and quality of a new set of double harness, which I shall shortly require. My own idea is that harness cannot be too light looking. I have also a great objection to a large amount of plating. My coachman will tell you the size of the horses; and please let me know by him the very lowest price.
Yours obediently,
James Heaton.
Saddler, in reply.

Sir,
Many thanks for your esteemed communication. From the description given by your coachman of the double harness required, I think I can supply you to your satisfaction for the sum of 24l., and everything will be of the best quality. Trusting that you will be satisfied with the quality and character of the goods,
