G. W. Adams. Mexico. Mo.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Dec. 22.-DEAR
SIR: Don't know Mr.. Gee. Thomp-

some samples. 1 did not know he
had any until I received a telegram

gomery, asking about him. When
he asked for the samples all goods
were to be shipped C. o. D. If he
got any orders he was to send in
his own deposit. Ifhe has any of
our cards or samples take them
away. You can give the samples
to some poor woman for quilt, and
the cards to your friends that are
coming to St. Louis from time to
time. He cannot have very many
samples; my partner says he only
got about ten. If Geo. Thompson
wishes to see letter let him do so.
I do not care to have kilograms
coming in all day in regard to him.
Let me hear from you.
Respectfully,
VoGEL & LUND.
