Your Favor of the 13th inst. is at hand & contents noted. I regret to say
that the Butter market is at present very dull, and I fear I would be unable to
handle yours at a price that would be satisfactory. Nothing in the way of Butter
is bringing good prices just now but
fresh creamery - and that is
mostly from the West and comes regularly evry week. I have found it so difficult
to work off ordinary dairy at decent prices that I do not think best to try any
more this season -
You know I am not in the business regularly - But Simply handle a few tubs [in the fall of the year] to supply a few friends I think you can probably sell yours as well at home
