Dear Sir, In answer to yours of the 7th [Illegible] in reference to 5 packages shipped us by Mr. Kanouse last year, to your address. We have to inform you the 4 bales and 1 box are in store awaiting shipment by the River - some time in May. - From the time of receipt from Macleod, to the present, we have had no opportunity of shipping via Helena. The winter having been so severe as to block the roads, excepting for mail. Mr.Kanouse informs us he has written you on the subject.-
