Rev John Kimball

Dear Sir

This is to inform you that I have been to Poolsville and that deed is right and recorded and the men are getting out and hewing the heavy timbers and they have all of their lumber hawled up and say that they will continue to work on the House tell it is up  And I am just from Barnesville and the men are framing their House and about half of their lumber is up and hawling the Ballance they say that they will do all they can to finish the House as soon as posible And I am here now at Damascus looking for lumber for this House and the only hope I can see is to go to Frederick and try and buy there I am told that I can get it there and if so I shall buy to be delivered the the Trustees in Frederick
