BEVERLEY SANDS TO PHILLIPS & FAULDS
Cathedral Heights, New York,
June 7, 1900.
GENTLEMEN:
A former customer of yours, Mr. Benjamin Doolittle, has suggested your firm as reliable agents to carry out an important commission, which I herewith describe:
I enclose a list of Kentucky ferns. I desire you to make a collection of these ferns and to ship them, expenses prepaid, to Edward Blackthorne, Esquire, King Alfred's Wood, Warwickshire, England. The cost is not to exceed twenty-five dollars. To furnish you the needed guarantee, as well as to avoid unnecessary correspondence, I herewith enclose, payable to your order, my check for that amount.
Will you let me have a prompt reply, stating whether you will undertake this commission and see it through?
Very truly yours,
BEVERLEY SANDS.
