Mr. Manly,

Dear Sir,
Enclosed you will find one dollar and fifteen cents, which I wish you would lay out in third readers for me. there are some that have some words of spelling defined. those are the kind of books I wish you to purchase. I have six of that kind. could I get six more. it would answer my purpose for the present as I am in a present want of them. you would oblige me very much indeed by sending them by return mail. I will return  you the ten cents. when I send in the report or send thirty five cents if you will send six books.
by so doing you will oblige your Friend and well wishes.

Richmond Robinson
