Amor Hollingsworth Esq

Dear Sir,

We are nearly
ready to print a new plan of our
Cemetery on a scale sufficiently large
to show every proprietor his lot
in good order. You being one of our
constituents, I wish to make a
personal appeal to you so for
as such appeal is proper^^{can be made} consistent
with your own interests.

I do not find any map
paper in this market and do
not wish to be driven to New
York to get it.

We wish about ten reams
38 in x 46 in say 65 ⁷⁰ lbs to rm.
or about 700 lbs.

I inquired at Mr. P.C.
Jones', or rather got them
to inquire of your house
and my answer was that
you were not for prepared to
make so small a quantity,
and would have to wait for
an accumulation of orders. In
that way I should suppose
orders would naturally scatter
as fast as the necessities of per-
sons should drive them else-
where.

However, that is of no conse-
quence. The only thing is, can I
within our limited time calculate
upon a supply from your
mills; say in one month
or two months?

Your reply will much
oblige.

Yours truly

A. J. Coolidge
Sec.y
