To any Commander of a Confederate cruizer.
I take pleasure in presenting to you Mr. Anderson of the firm (in Cape Town & Simon's Town) of Mr. Anderson, Sapen & Co. The gentlemen of that firm are reliable, & have perhaps greater facilities than any other firm in the Colony for the transaction of business.
Yours
