Brantford

Gentlemen

Herewith enclosed please

orders. The roads are so bad up north that

business is very dull [since] before Christmas

Mr. Nay says this 10 sacks of [Roller Oats] is

the first order he has given since before Christmas

except some [fresh] fish and [duck]. I did not

drive out to [Liventon]. The [lively] man did

not care to send out horses. [P. McCosh] paid

me [out for] his last order. B.B. [Connor] has

not got his dried apples traded out. I will

go up to [Fodenel] tomorrow forenoon and get down

to [Gael] by Friday morning.

I remain

Yours truly

Th. McCosh
