I enclose Mr Howells says Mr. Shepard will get Am. Bank-Note stock for me $7 cheaper than Bissell charges here. Bissell’s cha price is $55 for $50 worth of stock. You may go to him & expend the enclosed $1000 in that way, if you think it will interest them to send you work. Otherwise, return the check. You can say, if you choose, that I don’t want more stock now, as I am projecting some heavy expenditures.
