Bear Sir : — I accept of your offer, and will send a man 

 when you say the time for him to come. Can you get iron 

 wire sieving", twenty two wires to the inch, twenty-one inches 

 wide? If so, let me know, and if I can get it cheaper here, 

 I will do so for you. All that is necessary for an outlit ex- 

 cept the lumher, is wire sieving and rope for anclibrs, stones 

 and twine to tie tlio boxes together, and gas tar to tar the 

 sieving and boxes. It is Ijest to have the man come in time 

 to make the boxes. I will get all of the above or any part 

 of them that you wish ; I consider the contract closed, and 

 Avill send one of my men wlien you order. 



Your"s,

Dear Sir: — On receipt of your's of the 11th inst,, closing 

 our contract, I put my men to making boxes, so as to have 

 everything ready. How many do you think we Avill need ? 

 How many have you been able to use at your camp on the 

 Hudson '? The twenty-two inch cloth ccsts sixteen cents per 

 square foot here. I think when we priced it in Rochester, it 

 was somewliat less.
