Letter from Ilus Fabyan Carter, 7 February 1853
Scarborough
Brother Wilford
Your favor of 29th, Oct. was
recd. some few weeks since. I have delayed writing
you, hoping every day to hear from Mr. Horner, as yet
I have not heard anything from him but hope to soon.
The amount in the hands of Dr. Bernhisel was prompt
ly remitted and received. Will send you a recpt.
for all as soon as we hear from Mr. Horner.
I feel very much obliged to you for the interest
you have taken in this matter and under the cir
cumstances I think you have been very successful
You done just right in calling on Mrs. Coward
for that amount, for she had been there some time
and could probably attend to it as well then as at
any time. I think you are a very thorough business
man. you look after them close, they do not
escape you quite so easy, but you always use all
well and try to do the same to yourself and friends.
that I think is just right, a man must look
after his interests closely in order to accomplish
much. Brother Little was very prompt, I feel obliged
to him, please give my respects to him when you
see him. You succeeded in closing that affair up
up with Messrs. Reese & Co. I did not expect the
returns from that so soon, the amt, $165 made it
right. I had Bonds for $1100 at 80 cts on dollar, sold for 65 cts.
