Mr. Hill:

I telephoned Mr. An.drew Schoch about peony rootG and he

just called rae back to say they have only 100 left that would be

all rJgh~ for ohipInent, and price on these would be 20¢ each. ./ . -

_~ bave plenty of o~, but they are too far adVanced and

wou d not stand shipping and be satisfactory in every way . How-.;

ever, the lot of ~OO in first-class and ure the same as Schoch

has been having on sale at price of 35¢ each.

He mentioned there · is another party that has plenty to

fill an order for 500 roots, but the price would be $1.00 each~

I underotood you to say you could obtain about 500 at

the market at price of 50~ each~ so I presume the $1.00 price ,

would not be considered.

I promi~ed to advise Ur. S~ s_o~m ao possible -. \~1ether we would take the lot 100 at 20¢ each.

Dear Mr. Hilla

Mr. Albert E. Cluett, member of the firm of Cluett, Peabody & Company, operating the largest eltabli8nment for the manufacture of shirts, oollars, eto., and looated at Troy, New York, is oontemplating making his first tr i t and Al ccompanied by his wife and two sons. Hr. Cluett was in t Un1 e States Fuel Ad­ministration during the War and was of very material help to all of us at that time and in ma.ny ways haa plaoed us UDder iD1ebtednesl.

1Ir. Cluett am. party are going Welt via the Canadian Pacifio and, after a sojourn in Alaska, are planning to leave Portland, Oregon, at 8:00 P.M., Tuesday, t 1 t via No t ier Park, where they will stop a out a week, leaving at midnight on the 19th for B1ll1llgl, and from whioh point they will entrain for Yello_tone Park.

Mr. Oluett is inquiriDg of me whether it would be ask1J:Jg too much to suggest to your people the propriety of giv1llg him a letter of introduotion which would reasonably aslure himself and famil7 of oomfor­table acoommodations~ He is planning to make his Pul~ relervations on the Great Northern While at Vancouver and before sailing for Alaska, but it ~ be that you would prefer to have someone from one of your looal Eastern paslenger agenoies oommunioate with him direot before he starts on his trip.

Neither Mr. Cluett nor JQ'self would oare to ask anything whioh is not in keeping with your establi8hed rules, and I am pasling hil re­quest on to you with the assuranoe that we oan vouoh for Yr. Cluett in every way and in the belief that one having the extensive business oon­neotions of Mr. Cluett i8 likely to have influenoe on the route leleoted by thOle "Iooiated with him.

Needlesl to I~, I shall gladly reciprooate at any time insofar as our Delaware and Hudson hotels are ooncerned, or in connection with ~ trip any of your friends may wish to take over the Missouri Pacifio System, the Wabash or The Denver and Rio Grande Western.

Yours very t l"I1ly,

New York, N. Y. June 2, 1925.

Dear Mr. Hill:

Mr . Albert E. Cluett, member of the firm of Cluett, Peabody & Company, operating the largest establishment for the manufacture of shirts, collar s, etc., and located at Troy, New York, is contemplating making his first trip to the Pacific Coast and Alaska, accompanied by his wife and two sons. Mr. Cluett was in the United states Fuel Ad­ministration during the War and was of very material help to all of us at that time and in many ways has placed us under indebtedness.

Mr. Cluett and pl.rty are go :!.ng West via the Canadian Pacific and, after a sojourn in Alaska, are plamning to leave Portland, Oregon. at 8:00 P. M., Tuesday, August 11th, via the Great Northern for Glacier Park, 't,vhere they will stop about a week, leaving at midnight on the 19th for Billings, and from which point they will entrain for Yellowstone ,Park.

Mr. Cluett is inquiring of' me whether it would be asking too much to suggest to your people the propriety of giving him a letter of introduction which would reasonably assure himself and family of comfor­table accomodations. He is planning to make his Pullman neservations on the Great Northern while at Vancouver and bef'ore sailing f'or Alaska, but it may be that you would pref'er to have someone f'rom one of your local Eastern passenger agencies commwlicate with him direct bef'ore he starts on his trip.

Neither Mx'. Cluett nor myself would care to ask anything which is not in keeping with your established rules, and I am passing his re­quest on to you with the assurance that vre can vouch for Mr. Cluett in every way and in the belief' that one having the extensive business con­nections of' Mr. Cluett is likely to have influence on the route selected by those associated with him.

Needless to say, I shall gladly reciprocate at any time insofar as our Delavlar e and Hudson hotels are concerned, or in connection ,vith any trip any of your f'riends may wish to take over the Missouri Pacific System, the Wabash or The Denver and Rio nrande Western.

Yours very truly,
