Gents,
Inclosed please find Chack for $350.00
for which please give me credit balince my account and wright
me how much thare is left to my credit, deduct $4. for the
Plush and Thread which I have sent back. The reason I send
you so much money is because I have no use for it here and
you may alowe me Interest as well as the Baink.
I also send you by Express 2 ps. Overall as you will see
one Blue and one made of the 10 oz Duck which I have bought
a greate many Peces of you, and have made it up to the Pants,
such as the sample the secratt of them Pants is the Rivits
that I put in those Pockots and I found the demand so large
that I cannot make them fast enough. I charge for the Duck
$3.00 and the Blue $2.50 a pear. My nabors are getting yealouse
of these success and unless I secure it by Patent Papers
it will soon become to be a general thing everybody will
make them up and thare will be no money in it. tharefor
Gentlemen I wish to make you a Proposition that you should
take out the Latters Patent in my name as I am the Inventor
of it, the expense of it will be about $68, all complit
and for these $68 I will give you half the right to sell
all such Clothing Revited according to the Patent, for all
the Pacific States and Teroterous the balance of the United
States and of the Pecific Coast I reserve for myself, the
investment for you is but a trifle compaired with the improvement
in all Coarse Clothing. I use it in all Blankit Clothing
such as Coats, Vests and Pents, you will find it a very
salable article at a much advenst rate. Should you decline
to spent the amount required for the Patent Papers please
wright to me and I will take them out at my own expense,
under all cercomestance please dont showe the pents to anybody
I have allready obtained through Dewey & Co. of the Centific
Press 2 Patents and one was rejected, but I am so situated
with a large Family that I cannot do anything with it at
Present tharefore as I have said if you wish to take out
the Papers, Please go to Dewey & Co. of the Centrific Press
and have the Papers made out in my name for 17 years they
will send them up to me for Signature. Please answer these
as soon as possible, these looks like a trifle hardley worth
speakeing off But nevertheless I knew you can make up pents
the way I do you can sell Duck Pents such as the Sample
a $30 per doz. and they will readyly retail for $3. a pair
excuse these long latter, as I could not describe particulars
in a short space, I have nothing more at present.
I
remain yours Truely
J.W.Davis
