Dear Baird

You are a Carlisler, and I suppose you know all about the Gettysburg Springs. I put these questions:
1. Have they the virtues ascribed to them in this "puff" (N.Y. Med. Record)?
2. Are they bottled for transportation, and do they bear transport, and keep some time?
3. About how much do they cost per dozen?
4. Is the water taken in small, or large doses? This is a guide to the quantity to be ordered.

Perhaps you can get somebody to send me a pamphlet answering all those questions and save

writing which, may be you hate as bad as I do.

I have sent a photographer to make collections of photog from Raphael for Lucy, though, they say, she did vote for Greeley. More's the pity, I hope she found the Corregios at home.

Yours trulyG P Marsh
