leave off, for instance if W&Ks last hhd is 55 let R&M start at 56 &c.

Mr. T. Guish (???) & Co would not advance for less than 8% so we had better send to C.W. & Co. as I've no doubt C W & Co have better facilities for handling it. I went to Alleghany Sunday & took Sister & Bettie up. Little May is stronger & can almost stand up & can sit alone a little. Hope you are all well & cool. I'm melting 105 in shade.

Yours &c

R. H. Wright
Perhaps you better send a list of hhds commencing
No. 1 - 1000lbs (???) gross 150 tons (???) net 850
No. 2 875 " 100 " " 775
&c & advise them that you do not care to fix any price yet but will advise later on what price you want as you do not care to sell before Dec or Jan.
R. H. W.
