BEVERLEY SANDS TO NOAH CHAMBERLAIN
Cathedral Heights, New York,
May 25, 1911.
DEAR SIR:
You have been recommended to me by Messrs. Burns & Bruce, of Dunkirk, Tennessee, as a nurseryman who can be relied upon to keep his word and to carry out his business obligations.
Accepting at its face value their high testimonial as to your trustworthiness, I desire to place with you the following order:
Messrs. Burns & Bruce, acting upon my request, have forwarded to you a list of rare Kentucky ferns. I desire you to collect these ferns and to ship them to Mr. Edward Blackthorne, Esq., King Alfred's Wood, Warwickshire, England. As a guaranty of good faith on my part, I enclose in payment my check for twenty-five dollars. Will you have the kindness to let me know at once whether you will undertake this commission and give it the strictest attention?
Very truly yours,
BEVERLEY SANDS.
