Col R I. Dodge My dear Sir:-
Your favors of the 21, and 27th Nov were duly received. Let me apologize for the great
delay in answering them. They came just as the holiday trade had begun, & I was extremely busy. I wanted to reply to them fully & I put the matter off from day to day until after Christmas, and knowing Settlement day was then at hand I deferred the business until now. I hope you will excuse the delay under these circumstances. In future I promise your letters prompt attention.
I was surprised myself at the refusal of the Secy to order the books for the Army. Your letter was
the first information I rec'd that he had so decided, as no reply was made to my letter to him offering the book at a reduced price. However, I am not sorry. I like your suggestion about making the "traders" act as agents and I shall go for them red hot. I have not done anything about it yet, but now that the holiday rush is over I will make an attack upon every post trader & show him how he can earn a dollar or two quickly & easily. I am satisfied we shall sell many more copies in this way than the 150 the Secy enquired about. As soon as I get my circulars & all prepared I will send copies for you if you wish. I have made up your a/c to date, and
