Eagleswood, Perth
Amboy, N. J., March 23d, '62.
Some time since a gentleman in N. Y. gave to Mr. Spring for
you a piece of cotton goods called Brilliant. I have hoped to find some one going
to your neighborhood who would take it. I have asked a shopkeeper in Amboy what
he would give for it; he said twelve cents a yard. There may be 25 or 30 yards.
Now shall I let him have it for that, or shall I keep it until I find some one
to take it to you or what shall I do with it?"
