Your valued

favor of<m>28th Feb inst ^to Miss Edwards^ is received. in which you say you expect to ship the carload in about 2 weeks from Feb 28th ---- It may be better to defer shipping until later, in fact I would prefer to have you wait a little, in as much as the top floor is not laid in the basement of the Building where you propose to store the boxes & we have no expectation of having our cases ready for about 2 months -- You could of course set up some of the objects much sooner than that & have them ready especially those that do not go into cases Left margin What are your views under the circumstances. You know we want to be sure & have all setup & in order by the first week in June ---- A. L. Williston Tr.
