171 Mr. H. B. Brown,

Bloomfield, Ill. Dear Sir:

Your favor of the 17th inst. at hand and noted. We can only say that it is utterly impossible to give you any
25 correct idea of the value of your wool from such samples as you send.

Yours very truly, (42)

172 Messrs. I. Morse & Co.,

St. Louis, Mo. Gentlemen:

When you are in the market for wool of any kind, we shall be glad to hear from you. There is about 40,000 lbs.25 of " Original Package " New Mexico wool held by a party outside the wool trade. We think that this wool will be offered for sale in
50 the near future, and if there is anything that you can use, we will place samples before you and try to secure it for you
75 if possible.

When in need of anything in our line, we shall be glad to hear from you.

Yours very truly, (97)

173 Messrs. Hayden Bros.,

Chicago, Ill. Gentlemen:

We are just receiving a consignment of 10,000 lbs. of Wisconsin Wool, which we expect to run largely at % and 1/4 and
25 which will no doubt yield a large percentage of staple wool. Not having graded it as yet, we cannot name you a price. If you
50 are in the market for anything of thi
9 kind, we shall be glad to figure with you.

Yours truly, (69)

Mr. Charles Keech,

Hebron, Nebr. Dear Sir:

Yours of the 1st inst. at hand. We have made a sale of your wool and enclose account of sale and check for
25 amount with the hope that same may be found correct and satisfactory.

We tried very hard to get more for this fine wool, but it
50 was an impossibility; and the way other wools have been selling, we have obtained full value for this. Of course, you realize it has been
75 a very unsatisfactory season for all concerned.

Yours truly, (84)

Mr. Frank E. Edwards,

Polo, Ill. Dear Sir:

Your favor of the 19th inst. at hand and noted. We send you by freight, as requested, four wool sacks. We shall be
25 glad to handle your wool this summer, but you must not compare what we are able to do for you this year with what we
50 did last year, as circumstances are entirely different.

If we receive your orders, we will do the best we possibly can for you.

Yours very truly, (76)

Messrs. F. Cosgrove & Co.,

Decatur, Ohio. Gentlemen:

Yours of the 19th inst. at hand and noted. As requested, we ship the 38 sacks of wool which we were to hold
25 until we heard from you.

Yours truly, (31)
