Messrs Jas. H. Walker & Co.,
Chicago, Ill.,
Gentlemen:-
Please send us as soon as possible,
200 table cloths, 7 ft. by 7 ft, same quality as last napkins bought. price $3.17 ½ each;
17 dozen jackets, drill cotton, price $9.00 per dozen.
300 yards butcher linen, 40 inches, for waiters' aprons, quoted 32 ½.
300 Glass Towling, 18 inches, at 12 ½ cents.
2000 yards of hack towling, per sample, 20" wide.
That part of the above order down to and including the 300 yards butcher linen, we think you should give us at a lower price, as we enclose you sample quoted us by H. B. Claflin & Co., of New York, at 28 cents, which seems to us equal to your 32 ½.
Please make the remainder of the order to us as low as possible.
Also enclose sample of Claflin & Co., goods for jackets at $10. per dozen. We have lower prices from this firm on some articles than quoted by you, but forward the order to you as they have sent us sample table cloths, 7/4 x 7/4, and we are in too great a hurry to wait longer.
Please advise us by return mail if you cannot ship the order promptly, so we can place it elsewhere. Do not wish to wait as long as we did for the napkins.
Yours,
Messrs Jas. H. Walker & Co.,
