                                                 Feb. 13, 1883

pretty close - while a desire to retain my present boarding place compels me not to do the latter. But tell me </u what > you want, </u how soon > you want it, and what you consider a fair price and I will endeavor to meet your requirements. Sincerely yours Fred. A. Lucas
