Crosby and Ainsworth, Wholesale Booksellers and Publishers for the Trade 117 Washington Street Payson's Script Boston Oct 19 1867 Dear Sir We are very much grateful to have your order for the copy books & for'd free as you desire except they have "for Vermont Schools" on cover which is of course a little too far north but will scarcely be noticed — advise us immediately if you will take a lot provided we paint "for Virginia Schools" or "Freedmen Schools" Say what? & we will fix it at once also suggest any other changes? Would you like to have an Agent visit any Section of Va with the books? Truly Yours Crosby & Ainsworth P.S. Advise about how many Covers to paint? if you wish any special ones painted?
