Semple, Chas.
Circular letter, 1858 May 5. 1 item
Circular letter of Chas. Semple, Castor Hill, to Dear Sir, May 5, 1858: “Dear Sir: I beg leave
to inform you that I have removed from St. Charles to my stables at Castor Hill, on Plank Road,
2 miles west of Fair Grounds, the Imported Draft Stallion NORMAN, also, GEN. BARKER
and RINGOAL, who with BLACK HAWK PRINCE & MORGAN HUNTER, will remain
there for the balance of the season. This is believed to be the best stud of Horses in the United
States, and will afford to breeders a choice to suit their Mares: an advantage which will be
obvious to all experienced breeders. Norman will stand at $10, 15 and 20; the others as
heretofore announced, viz: $25, 30 and 40. All admirers of fine horses are respectfully invited to
call and see this fine stud of Horses. Yours Respectfully, Chas. Semple.”
