Dear SIR: Wy great anxiety 10 promote the
improvement Of the blood horse Of our country,
must constitute my apology for addressing you on
the subject.
Since the death Of Industry, have given TO
Col, selden's horse Mazeppa, a decided prefer
ence over any other stallion of my acquaintance
and as shall breed from him yself, should
be highly gratlhed If you could get him.
| have seen Mazeppa on the course, and have
always believed him a capital runner His stock
Is certainly as pure and rich as any in America.
He is beautiful bay, Of fine figure, and full six
teen hands high. Very respectfully, your friend
Asd servant, JOHN III, NsC ARTY.
