| Dear Sir, |
| We have purchased of the "Victoria"
Furnace (W. Warren Prest) all the Pig Iron they have and can make up to
XMas. A part is now at Tolersville and it will all be placed there for
transportation. It is very important not only to us but to the
Government and the Genl. Community who we are supplying, that this Iron
should be brought down expeditional. You are now in want of Nail
for your Road which we cannot supply for the want of Iron. You are
therefore forced to got to the Hardware here for your Nails and their
price, if they have them, is $43 per Keg. Ours is $30, and if you
will bring me the Iron we will put you what Nails you are now wanting at
$30. There are several Flat loads of the Iron now at Tolersville. |
| Very Respectfully |
| Yr. Obdt. Servt |
