April 23rd, 1900 Messrs Pilling & Crane Girard Building, Philadelphia, Pa. Gentlemen:-- Please make our order for coal as follows, which is to stand until further orders:- 8 cars per week Bituminous coal 3 cars " " No. 2. Buckwheat or Rice 1 car " " No. 1 Buckwheat We want the No. 2 Buckwheat for our Bricker Ovens, as we find we can keep a more even temperature with this size of coal, than with the larger size; and as we will require a lower temperature this time, than we ran before, we trust that you will be able to get this quality for us, as it will make our briquettes much more [illegible] than with the larger size. We trust that you will be able to get these shipments to us regularly and promptly. This order supersedes previous orders; but the order given you on Thursday last for eight or ten cars extra Bituminous coal, is still effective. Yours very truly,
