We received yours desireing us to look for sundry articles
of furniture therein mentioned, and after a careful examination
of said articles in the stores of this City, we beg leave
to report as follows—that our humble opinion is that, in all the
articles named in your letter you would save money by purchasing
in Balt. Carpets such as you want are 100$ to 1.06 & 1.12½ & no
great things at that. Chairs such as you want are $18 & $20 per
doz. Rockers are 10 & 12$. Sophas $20 & $25. I am sure I could do
better in Balt. They are not made here. All such things are brought
from N. York & Boston. In Balt. they manufacture them. There are
houses in Balt. that sell Northern furniture, but I would not have
it. It is made for sale and not for service. I speak particularly
as to chairs & sophas. And this is about as much as we can report
at present. You had better defer it until after the 1st of March
and we will meet in Balt. and do the matter Brown.
We are thankful to our Heavenly Father that we are blessed
with our usual degree of health, and that we are still endeavouring
to keep in view our eternal salvation. We feel our unfaithfulness
sometimes very oppressive, but we are upheld by the exceeding
great and precious promises of that Word of our salvation
which shall endure when time shall be no longer. May we be sanctified
& kept by that word of promise through faith unto Eternal
Life.
