I Will now obey instructions. This being convenient to you on the Road it is favorable that you can attend to it More satisfactorily to yourself than I can Do it for you. But if you wish me to attend to it I Will go and see the prospects and Do What I can as I will Do any business entrusted to me by a [illegible] for the same and Will forward the notes by your ordering it to be Done.
