              Kendal Stark Co, Ohio 12th mo 19th 1818
     William Cox
           Esteemed Friend
                 I have just not heard a report that
    Our Meeting House at Malborough is burned down but
    nothng particular, of course another will be wanted immediate
    =ly  Will thou be so kind as to procure a Box of Geneva Glass
    8 by 10 Inch and if thy build a huned log house 20 feet wide
    and forty feet long I suppose there will be wanted 50 lb of 10d Nails
    for the roof and then some of the same size for other purposes say 10lb
    making 60 lb 10d
    flooring  12lb                             Enquired after 12 m 29th
                                               and 2-7 plate stoves{illegible}
              10 lb 8 d                             with 8 feet pipe
              _________
              82 lb   Small nails, 6 d for casings I have
    I have designated the use of the ails that if I should be incorrect
    the quantity may be varied - supposing it must take about 100 lb
    of Nails - these I understand can be had much cheaper with you
    than with us, if thou wilt procure them and the Glass and
    send me a bill I will either send the money or a dft on Philad
    for the amt and if early provided it will give an opportunity by
    some accidnetal conveyance to get them out to Canton or some
    Friend may be passing with a sled and take them along as there is some
    connection between [illegible] and you place, my C. joins in affection
    ate love to thyself Wife & Daughter with thy frd.    Thos Rotch
