Mr W.D.Harris Dear Str I have seen Mr Miller several times since my return from the west I spoke to him in regard to the payment of the two thousand dollars I was owing him he says he will take $500 or $1000 at a time until paid and of course as soqn as convenient I am willing to become possessor of the note Mr Phillips mentioned in letter dated June 18th that there was a gentleman that wanted to buy:Mr Harris out by the name of Crowell but would not take a special interest if there ·is a man with means and is all right why not make him a general partner I wish you would try and find the man that would suit you and as he would be equal with you in capital I see no reason why you should not make him a general partner I told Mr Miller last fall that I wished he would find some one.to buy my interest that would make a good partner for you and him He thought he could during the next yearit is not that I am dissatisfied with the management of the business but on the contrary

., I am well pleased and satisfied with what has been done and am of the opinion that with all the advantages ypu have you may with care and perseverance make money. But for me it is I better to sell out my interest or have taken ! a general interest and moved t;o Chicago but as I do not wish the latter the former becomes the alternative. I am expecting to call on Mr Miller at his place before long and shall talk with him in regard to selling finaing purchaser & Mr Phillips writes me that ~ou are doing a brisk business and your sales are large. I will be glad to hear from you often With kind regards &
