Major.
The bricks heretofore received from N. Orleans will not stand in the roof of an oven. I have therefore to request that you will forward by first conveyance - Say [[underlined]] 1600 fire brick [/underlined]]
or if the best "Salmon Brick" will answer, as they are cheaper, forward from 1600 to 2000 of that kind.
Send a proportionate quantity of LIme - Say about 20 @ 25 Brle.
Very Respectfully
