G.S. NELSON.

_Reading, May 27, '57_.

We knew not that these goods were to come, consequently we were all

taken by surprise. When you answer, use the word, goods. The reason of

the excitement, is: some three weeks ago a big box was consigned to us

by J. Bustill, of Harrisburg. We received it, and forwarded it on to J.

Jones, Elmira, and the next day they were on the fresh hunt of said box;

it got safe to Elmira, as I have had a letter from Jones, and all is

safe.

Yours,
