Much Respected Friend
Your letter respecting potash is received, have engaged an hundred weight and shall bring it down a week from Monday, at which time I shall leave here for your place with the screws nuts &c for your Cider mill- Depuyster (the man that I have the potash from) asks five dollars for 100- and the money I have some hopes of obtaining it on easier terms of payment- let me know by the next mail your wishes in this respect.-
I have chosen the best men to let what sheep you have to put out to, those that went there for the immediate benefit of their families, have thought it best to have them come when I am at your house, besides it is almost itme to have them go with the bucks - let me know your wishes in this respect,
Mr Graham starts this morning for you house - will give you the bill of the necessary lumber for your Cider press, the most men will be down with me, on the above time, and I am persuaded will do your most in the best manner -
I hope it will be convenient to have the Clothe done, destined to be here, when I come down with much respect I continue,
Your sincere Friend and obedient servt
William McClelland
