Depot Hotel,
Las Vegas, N.M.

Dear Sir:-
I shall be glad to send you one dozen strings of smilax and three or four dozen cala lilies on any day you name, with our compliments. Send on of your baggage way-bills, and I will see that the material starts from here safely.

Yours truly,

December 8, 1891
Messrs Short & Schwan,
Pomona, Calif.,

Gentlemen:-
You have charged us too much for Navel oranges. We have since purchased at Riverside, two days after we purchased from you at $3.00 per box, f.o.b. Cannot you give us credit for overcharge on the box you have shipped? Do not ship more until we get the price.

Yours truly,
E. S. Babcock.
