My dear Sir -

My brother Guy took a memorandum of things which my wife had desired to purchase, consisting of shrubs, Roses, Roots &c, and had [illegible] from my wife to have them sent out this or next week. It was a mistake all round, for I did not intend to send the memorandum after making it out, which I did for the purpose of seeing what it would cost. I find it difficult enough to pay my bills under all the difficulties of making collections this spring, and for the reason I would prefer not to have the order filled.

Respectfully & truly Yours &c L. H Cutting
