I have just recieved a letter from mr Richardson of the Oxford iron works informing me he is very doubtful whether they would continue much longer in blast, & therefore urging the being furnished immediately with the model for my iron-backs. I must pray you therefore to have it sent to the works immediately that I may not be disappointed. if I lose this chance I may never get another, and the...
In addition to f the jobs to be done here I must add 3. chimney screens to be made of half inch boards, plain, to fit exactly within the grounds for the architraves of the fireplaces. they are for the West fireplace of the parlour, and the North fireplaces of the East & West rooms, because these rooms having two fireplaces each, the one which has no fire in it draws the smoke of the next room...
I promised you that on the completion of the bill of scantling I gave you, and the reciept of your account, I would give you an order on Richmond , for the amount of that & of the old balance. this I did on the confidence that my last year’s crop of flour, in the hands of Gibson & Jefferson in Richmond , (400. Barrels) would be sold for something. but mr Gibson in his last letter informs me...
Having recieved information in March that Jame Hubbard had been living in Lexington upwards of a twelvemonth, I engaged a man ( Isham Chisolm ) to go after him. he got there five days after Hubbard had run off from there, having committed a theft. he returned of course without him. I engaged him to start a second time, offering a premium of 25.D. in addition to yours, besides his expences. he...
I wrote to you from Albemarle on the subject of putting up the grounds of my work here; while I should be here. I arrived yesterday and shall make rather a short stay; so should be glad you could come immediately . I also wish to talk with you about my barn in Albemarle of which I wrote to you and a further job of covering a new warehouse I have buil t at Milton , 300.f. long, & 12.f. wide, of...
Immediately on the reciept of your letter , I desired mr Bacon to be on the lookout for Hubbard , and to apprise the Patroles of him & to inform them of the reward you had offered which I would advance for you. I moreover engaged a trusty negro man of my own, and promised him a reward on my own account if he could inform us so that he should be taken. he has not been heard of. yet I have no...
I am glad to have it now in my power to give you a draught on Richmond for 75.D. which overpays our former balance of 67.48 and it’s interest. if any merchant in Lynchburg should want money in Richmond you may perhaps exchange it for cash. otherwise if you inclose it to mr Gibson he will forward the money to you by mail: or if you prefer returning me the note, I will write to mr Gibson to...
I shall set out for Poplar Forest within about 10. days or a fortnight from this time, and have to request that you will be ready to come there on notice of my arrival and lay all the grounds for the plaistering while I am there. in this I hope you will not fail me. I shall have then to propose to you a large job to be executed here; to wit a barn, which with it’s sheds will be 66 by 42. feet,...
I have not been able to send for the plank during my stay here, but the waggon will go for it the next week, so as to have it ready. I shall return here with Chisolm the middle of October, and shall certainly have more than a month’s work for you here—and I shall be ready for you in Albemarle the moment I go back. you can at once begin on the Milton warehouse, all the stuff for which is on the...
