My dear Rogers

I sent you by registered package this mail one package copper ore, marked No. 1, one package of copper and unclear combined known as Peacock ore, No 2, also one package of ore unknown. Will you be kind enough to have the silver packages assayed and send me the result at as early a day as convenient. I enclose herewith $10 to pay for same I am very anxious to obtain a correct assay on the copper ore No 1. We have made an assay which gave 37 per cent pure copper. if we can get 20 per cent the ore will pay for shipping. if 25 per cent I am tolerably well fixed. The unknown ore is simply sent to gratify our curiosity nothing more. Please let me hear from you at earliest possible day. If our copper gives 25 per cent, we are all of us well fixed, I have thousand and thousands
