the [amt?] of the Machinery in stock I will take it
is [illegible] at home and what does he say
let me hear what they all say about taking
the property if they do not take it let me know
so then I can try and sell to some one else.
I wrote you to use some money of your own
to pay for loading shingles and let me know
the amt and I would send you a draft
for it. I do not want to be drawing a lot of
small drafts on [Mr. Jones?] and I would rather
not get any money from [Miller?] as he has acted
as he has [it?] looks like then he is in the [best?]
but you must match and keep the different
Kinds of shingles separate and keep the old
shingles and the new separate so I will know
how to settle with him Keep us posted how
everything is getting along. Jake Singleton
wrote me, that he heard that I wanted to
sell my home place I told him that I
never offered it for sale but I would entertain
a proposition from him your careful of him and see
what he will do and let me know, all well and
[cross-written text on last line] send love to all [NMR?]
