I called at Cunninghams with Mr Harrison in reference to purchasing Rope & Bagging, For Bagging they ask 18c & Rope 10c. Apalachicola holds bagging at 17c & Rope at 9½c cash so that I advised Mr Harrison to purchase of Cunningham. I shall myself buy Rope & Bagging her after having written Porter Dee on the subject. I trust this will be satisfactory. I informed Mr Harrison what I had written that I was satisfied with his managements and I am now confirmed in the opinion that it is to your interest to suply him, I hav looked closely into matters I find them correct. All in usual health Yours Truly
