947. Jos. Prescott to Gideon White, in receipt of letter. He regrets that White's application to Mr. Hill came too late, the appointment having been made the previous day…"there are so many Candidates for every public appointment that it is impossible for a person to be too early in application…" Prescott, Lawson and Co. are about to close their concerns, due to Chas. Prescott's approaching retirement. Business matters. Holograph.
