Scope and Content

Letter to Fitzgerald & Lee, Inc. from W. F. Miller Transcription: [Letterhead] Star Lake Inn and Cottages Star Lake, N.Y. July 17, 36 Oswegotchie N.Y. Gentlemen: I was down to your place yesterday inquiring for a boat. You showed me two in Canada. One boat had a starter and Scripps motor with a long bow. I believe I would like this boat O.K. provided of course it was delivered in good running condition. But you would have to give me until page 2 next season to pay for it. I probably would clean it up this season but I don't like to promise. I can give you $50.00 down and my note backed by my Merchant in Oswegotchie or myself for the balance payable next season. I do not believe the boat is worth more than 300.00 that is all I will give for it. I own a new house page 3 and two acres of land here and all free and clear and have deed for same. I would have to have the boat not later than one week from today as the season would be pretty well along. May I hear from you. Respectfully W.F. Miller Oswegotchie
