My dear Sir,

I feel much mortified at my long
neglect of your note of Nov^r 27^th [18]67, inquiring where
you "can procure such a jet as is in the Lawn
Fountain". --

First let me thank you for the beautiful "Hand-
book for Greenwood" by Mr Cleveland. It is exe-
cuted in a style of rare elegance.

I was unusually engaged in the winter in pre-
paration &c. connected with the removal of our
office, and since being here have found difficulties in
replying lucidly to the question, owing to the fact that
the jet, while in use in two or three places, was made
by persons now away. Still it is thought by two
or three of whom I have inquired that it can
be easily produced.

I have finally been advised to refer you to
Mott's Iron Works 266 Water St, New York,
& enclose the card of Messrs Lockwood & Lamb giving
the reference. If you have any difficulty of getting it
made there, and wish one, I have no doubt they
can do it here. I understand that it is
a very simple thing: it might be called "the reversed
umbrella jet". If I can be of further aid, command
my services.

Very truly yours

A.J. Coolidge
