Mr Bacon informs me 200 barrells is what he thinks You will require. that I think I can furnish & if taken before the 1st Nor at five Dollars ⅌ barrell, I no of no one but Mr Rogers that will sell & he but very little indeed I have already had application for twenty times as much as I may have to spare. M. Bacon also informs me he thinks You can spare 30 head of hogs. if so I shall be glad to buy them.   Very Sincerely
