Ottermusa Iowa March 24th 1857 Mesrs John A. & Chas Kennicott, Gents, Please send us your catalogue of trees &c. by return mail. We are making preparations to open as soon as our building can be completed ( a few weeks) an Agricultural warehouse & seed storeat this place, & we would like to get you to supply us in spring & fall with as manyu trees, plants, & shrubs as we can sell. We cannot open in time to do much this spring. Two or three persons, however, have agreed with us to order this spring supply, and as the season is advancing rather quickly, perhaps we shall think best to send you an order from catalogues reached us, believing that you will do as well by us as any one. If we should do so we will give you a reference or an order on a house in Chicago for the amount. Please let us know how much we can make on your articles, that is, give us you r lowest trade price. We would like to sell at your retail price plus the freight. Yours truly, Wm Daggett & Co.
