INQUIRING AS TO BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

NEWARK, OHIO, June 15, 18—.

Mr. J.D.  SHAYLOR,
Denver, Col.

My Dear Sir:  As I told you a year ago, I have been thinking seriously of disposing of my small business here and locating in some live and promising city out west, where I can grow up with the country as you are doing.

Will you have the kindness to sit down and write me at your convenience, full information in regard to the prospects of business, price of rents, cost of living, etc., in your city, and any other information, especially in regard to the hardware trade.

     If you will thus kindly give me the facts on which I can base
     a calculation, and all is favorable, I will probably visit
     Denver this fall, and eventually become your neighbor.

Yours very truly,
J.O.  GOODRICH.
