I have found that the business
requires patience, time, [honing?], some Capital,
Customers, & something more real than promises
to pay --

In establishing myself I am
endeavoring to put prices as low as they
can be any where. - please send me
Catalogue and if what little stock
I have was turned into cash would
come down & give you a call

As Ever I remain

Yours Obediently
