Sharpe's Rifle Manufacturing Co.,
Hartford, May 7, 1855.
Dear Sir, —
Annexed find invoice of one hundred carbines, ammunition, etc., delivered Mr.
Deitzler this morning. For balance of account, I have ordered on Messrs. Lee,
Higginson, & Co., at thirty days from this date, for $2,155.65, as directed
by you. We shall be pleased to receive further orders from you, and will put up
arms at our lowest cash prices to the trade, with interest added for time. The
sample carbine for your use shall go forward immediately. Our negotiations with
you I trust will be entirely confidential, as the trade in Boston and elsewhere
might take offence if they understood that we had made you better terms than we
grant to others.
Your obedient
servant,
J. C. Palmer, Pres.
Thos. H. Webb,
Esq.
