J. D Spreckels, Esq.,
San Francisco, Calif.

Dear Sir: -
My object in using Fisher was, to employ him as a drummer, to make the water popular, and to make a regular class of customers. I thought he would be about the best man I could get, he to work under some business head there whom you might select.

Yours truly,

October 28,1891
E. L. Schellnberg, Esq.
Bernardo, Calif.

Dear Sir: We are buying corn at $1.15. If you wish to supply us at that price, will take it. Otherwise, cannot use it.

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock

Miss Sessions:
Your letter of the 23rd. Considering the number of plants we have, we have concluded it will be better to get them into the yards of customers as soon as possible. Shall try to have our regular force take time enough off during the coming month or six weeks, to visit the better class of yards in S.D. and endeavor to sell the plants.

Yours,
