We enclose sales of Butter sent, and in the absence of any instructions how to send the money we have left it subject to your order.
While butter has somewhat declined good is still in demand, but the stock of common is so large that it is dull and slow sale.
Dried Apples and Country Cheese are also dull at present. Country Soap if good would sell, as also Vinegar, but a new or weak article of Vinegar would not. Trade opens slowly owing to the scarcity of money.
Most Respectfully
Tyler & Son
