Boston, Oct. 2,
Mr. John Benjamin
Hutchinson, Minn.
Sir,
Enclosed pleased find B/L for one box clothing which is sent
to the care of Temple & Beaupree at St. Paul. The different train companies will only
receipt for goods to St. Paul, therefore you will have to send there for the
box and send the B/L at the same time.
You will have to pay the freight on the box as it could not be paid here,
they refusing to accept the same.
Also, we have notified Temple & Beaupree to inform you
immediately of the arrival of the box in order that you may receive it as soon
as possible.
You will also please find a check for $30 drawn by Jeremy
Drake, cashier, Freeman’s Bank, Boston, on New York Bank, payable to your
order. You can write your name across
the back of said check and procure the money at any bank in your vicinity.
Mr. Price will give you particulars relative to the friends
who have contributed the clothing and money to assist you in your time of
need. I have simply attended to shipping
the box by the most expeditious route and obtained the check in order to
protect you in the safe arrival of each.
You have my sympathies and kind wishes for both your
temporal and spiritual prosperity.
Yours truly,
Addison Boyden
