Amos A. Lawrence to Major James B. Abbott, August 11, 1855

Request Mr. Palmer to have one hundred Sharpe's rifles packed in casks, like hardware, and to retain them subject to my order; also to send the bill to me by mail. I will pay it either with my note, according to the terms agreed on between him and Dr. Webb,1 or in cash, less interest at seven per cent per annum.
