Mr Richard O'Niel,
Howe Post Office, Cala.

Dear Sir,
Your letter of March 30th was received, but the young man that handled your dairy failed to call on us.
I would like to make a season arrangement with you for a steady supply of butter shipped us during the summer, every day or every other day, and during the winter at your convenience; If I can make some such arrangement, I will put on our bills of fare, Santa Marguerita Butter, and make a special advertisement of it.
We would use during the dull season, the next two months about 30 lbs per day. Commencing in August, we probably run 60 to 100 lbs, our business would again be light in September October November and December, commencing in January and to be at its best in February, March and April, averaging these months probably 150 lbs per day. [unknown]

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock Jr
