User-Contributed Transcription Fowler, Ind. Aug. 23, 1877Mrs. Abby J. KendallHudson, Mass. Madam: Yours of 19 inst. just received, contents noted: will say in reply that since receiving yours have used some diligence to find some responsible person to act as your agent I have found a gentleman, whom I can recommend, and reside at this place, who is a gentleman of strict integrity, and possesses some wealth. He is a good business man and has spent a goodly portion of his life in farming. His name is Robert J. Malaby. Before your agent can collect any money for you of your tenant, it will be necessary to you to send him power of attorney - either to collect rent or lease your farm. I inclose "power of attorney," which you can alter or change by filling blanks or erasing, and go before some notary public and acknowledge etc. executions of the same. The notary will give you such instructions in regard to the matter
