My dear Douglas:

I have your letter of July 11th, enclosing circular of your magnificant property at Gladstone, New Jersey, and offering it to me for sale. I presume your letter is a form letter, which was addressed to many gentlemen, but all the same I appreciate the compliment, as the old colored man said when somebody asked him to change a five dollar bill. I should like, of course, to earn a commission by selling it, but I haven't thought of any of my acquaintance who might consider such a proposition. If I think of any I will Call their attention to it.

Your letter makes me think I would like to run down there and look it over anyway, just to see what sort of a real estate man you are.

Please give my regards to Mrs. Wetmore, in which, in regards to you, the family join me. We enjoyed your visit to Cleveland very much.

Sincerely yours, CWC:AW
