Subject: Order
Dear Mr. Nash,
My name is Paula Washington and I’m the owner of the Four Seasons Creenhouse in Lewiston. I was given your email address by Mr. Steve Halloway at the New England Florists’ Convention in Boston last fall. I would like to purchase a large number of clay pots from you. Our previous supplier recently went out of business and we urgently need to replenish our stock.
At this time, I would like to order four dozen of your plain six-inch clay pots, for dozen of your plain ten-inch clay pots, and two dozen of your large ornamental pots. I only want to make a small order at this time in order to test the quality of your merchandise. If this selection of products from your inventory meets our standards, a second, large order will follow.
Please arrange to have the clay pots delivered to our warehouse as quickly as possible. Because these items are fragile, please forward them by special delivery to ensure that they are not damaged. Also, let me know the name of the carrier you use, so I can access their online freight tracking system while these goods are in transit.
Thank you very much. Please call me at 729-9928 if you have any questions. I hope this is the start of a mutually beneficial business relationship.
Paula Washington

I see her somewhere near water and small boats. Now I see her riding with someone in a red car. Don’t worry. You will know something in six days.

For example, those that had learned the maze six weeks after the injection had three times as much "activity" in their stained cells as those mice that learned the maze eight weeks after injection, when the stained cells were fully mature. Cells examined at less than six weeks’ old at the time of learning did not show as much activity as at six weeks, however.
