J L Lundy Esq
Dear Sir
Your fav. 5th [March?] is recd I can furnish you the [hot?] Peruvian Guano at 2 3/8 cts pr lb or $47.00 per ton of 2000 lb It is put up in bags of about 150 lb each. There is no charge for bags nor any tare allowed for them. They are newly made up of strong cotton for this purpose. Bone dust we sell in Barrels at 2.23$ for coarse, $2.50 for shavings & $3.00 for [wet sawings?]. The last we think the most economical application for soils I should advise an application of one or both of the above to your field at the rate of 200lbs guano & 2 or 3 bbls of bone dust. It is better that the guano be plowed in & the bone also, but neither deeply – If applied to grass lands it may be advantageously done in the spring & just before a rain. I can furnish the superphosphate of lime at 2 ¼ cts & 2 ½ cts pr lb the last being mapes. I do not [deem?] it as economical application as either guano of bone dust. I send you speciments of a paper we publish containing important [agt.?] information
Very truly
