Providence Sept 11th 1871
Mr. W. W. Crapo
Dear Sir,
I received your letter dated Sept 6th in regards to my claim on the Florida at present. I cannot come to New Bedford very well as I run a wholesale wagon and I have a route for each day in the week. But if you cannot get the papers prepared without me I will come any day you may apoint. I can leave one day as well as another.
Respectfully E.S. Davis

Mr. W. W. Crapo
Dear Sir,
I think you will find by looking over the enclosed document a little mistake the Barque was burned in the Atlantic not the Pacific.
what about my Share of oil and freight will I draw that from Mr. Howland if he succeeds in geting it.
Respectfully E. S. Davis
P.S. I don't know that the mistake is of any account. I thought I would send it to you to see.
