| Message Body | Sir Enclosed I send you the Lumber bill. In it is included the Hardware Lime & Hair etc. as the same man furnished all. The bill is a large one but I do not know as it could have been procured cheaper. If any more than 200$ can be given by the Bureau please assist us as the people are not able to do very much at present. |
