Description
Bezaleel Taylor writes to his "grandfather" James B. Finley. [Taylor is married to Finley's granddaughter Catharine Rebecca Brooke (1824-1917), daughter of Elizabeth Finley and Rev. John Carrington Brooke]. Taylor wants to get into the business of selling books on commission. He seeks Finley's input concerning the possibility of selling books through the Book Concern. Taylor has been elected mayor, but the position does not pay much. He needs more money to support his family. Brother James Taylor buried his little girl last week.
