When I1 receive your extra sheet will then bind you 500 "Drum Taps."

Can you give me an order on any person for a copy of your "Drum Taps" as I wantto match them.

As I have to pay nett cash for the materials used in your work would thank you to forward me the money.

Respectfully, Abraham Simpson  loc.00866.002.jpg  loc.00866.003.jpg
