Elizabethtown, Feb. 6, 1852.
Dear Henry, — Mr. Judd is wanting to buy a large quantity of
oats, for which he is now paying one cent per pound, cash. He also wants to buy
a supply for his teams that carry the mail to Saranac, for the next season. He
says oats that have rye mixed with them will be worth as much by the pound for
his own teams as those which have none. Thinking it might be of advantage to
you to know of this, and perhaps to see him, I concluded to send you a line at
any rate.
Affectionately yours,
John Brown.
