Having learned that there is a considerable de-
mand in your State for the Texas Almanac, on ac-
count Of the large amount of statistical and other
Information It contains that is important to immi-
grants, we have been persuaded TO make some ef-
forts TO supply that demand and it is for this pur
pose that We now address you Heretofore have
never sent our Almanac to any one to be sold on
commissions, but those who have taken them for the
trade have been the absolute purchasers and to
them We have made uniform discounts according TO
the number taken, the payments being made or Sc
cured to us at the time the Almanacs are sent. An
express order of the Post Office Department in Wash
lngton has been issued making the postage of our
Almanac the same as any other periodicals., and by
this rule its postage consisting Of hundred
pages sohd reading matter is reduced TO only four
cents per copy 20 any part Of the United States,
ton, before January 1860. This postage is now
therefore low that the cost Of sending by mail is
generally less than by any other conveyance. With
this facility for filling orders from all parts Of the
Union. we find great inducement to Try and extend
our circulation and to this end we now sending
the present circular 70 all parts of the country Our
request Is, SIMPLY that you will hand this to any
liable book sellers or other merchants Of your city
informing them that their orders viii be promptly
attended 10 on the terms named below, provided they
are received by or before the first day of October
next We send TINS circular 10 Editors especially,
because they are better known to generally thro'
their papers and also because is easily their pow
er TO give short notice Of publication, that may
be of the utmost benefit to US Those who will thus
kindly aid US shall be the first to receive copies

ed TO them early in October next Our Map. for 1880
