To Dr. Benjamin, Hutchinson
Dear Sir,
Were it not that we could plead sickness on the part of the
winter we would tend to you an apology for not more promptly answering your
letter of the 30th ult.
Touching upon butter, were we decided to remain in business after
the next 30 days, would be glad to resume our old relations & handle it as
we did up to a year ago, but as we are almost decided to close or sell out we
cannot ask you to ship to us until we return from business for the season. We have not made any money for the past 2
years and think it a waste of time to continue.
You ask about a missing can.
We will do all we can to find what has become of it & as to your
account on our books it appears to be closed, but that too will not be
overlooked.
Butter today would command 18 cents possibly 20 cents. As we remarked we may transfer our stock to
parties who would like to retain our connections. Also we will place them in communication with
you.
Your little town done well to vote in aid of RR & before
the snow flies again it seems as though you ought to be within hailing distance
of us. We certainly hope it will prove
so.
Yours very truly,
Titus Bros.
