| Dear Sir, |
| Yours of July 30th has been
received you informed me that you are in want of walnut lumber for
Stocks but you do not say wither you will give me a contract to saw
them out or not, I have no doubt I can furnish you as many as you want
-- the only difficulty I fear is getting transportation for them on the
{Virginia} Central Road from Staunton to
Richmond that was the cause of my wishing to deliver them at Staunton
probably you can inform me whether I need apprehend any difficulty in
that respect -- if you still desire them please inform me at once and
I will come to Richmond and conclude the contract -- your earliest
notice will greatly oblige |
| Yours Respectfully |
| Wm R Bader |
