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
