Friend Spier
I have a friend who is in want of a team of good horses and we conclude you
are as good a judge of horses as any man & wish to employ you to look them
up for us. We want a good team for the purpose of farming in Ulster Co.,
N. Y.. Matched for color and sound and not over seven years old and
warranted in short we want you to look up just such between us would suit
yourself and we do not want them to cost much of any over $200. delivered in
Albany. Please give us the result of your effort by letter as soon as
possible and we will return you an immediate answer and give you the okay that
we want them delivered in Albany which must be as soon as the fore part of the
last week in March where you will find the money (if you succeed) as we shall
dine at in our next and pay you for your troubles.
I have thought of J. Chambers horses or of Wm Browns
but we would not confine you to these if you can do better.
Yours,
E. Jacobs
