The Board of Administration of Notre Dame had sent him lately to the principal cities of the East to get an organ for their church. He went directly to New York and visited the establishment of Henry Erben, organ manufacturer, who is known to McFarland. Not having anything for Carrier's purpose Erben offered him an organ that was used at the Cathedral of Providence for many years for $800. As it was not mounted up Carrier could not judge of its appearance or sound. While Carrier thinks Erben is an honest man he could not make the deal without consulting the opinion of McFarland. He would like McFarland to tell him how well the organ worked in the Providence cathedral and how much he thinks it is worth. :: I-1-b A.L.S. 2pp. 4to.
