Messrs Carmichael, Brown & Co
Gentlemen
We have just received your esteemed
favor of the 30th Dec. & are sorry to learn
that the books have not been received — They
were put in a box that Mr James Webster
of this place was sending to Anthony Buck
of Fredericksburg & were addressed to you —
If you will do us the favor to call on
Mr. Buck, we have no doubt you will
receive them, they were put up in a paper
parcel — if it would not give you too much
trouble, you will oblige us by dropping us
a line to let us know when they are received —
we are gentn with great respect
Your obedt Servants
Thomas Dobson & [Son]
