of lumber expended here I think it would be best to allow 100 feet of Hemlock Boards for waste to each house as that kind of lumber is liable to split, break, & shatter very bad, and although I am very particular in measuring it out I am certain that the above is not too much, thus expending 1350 feet of Hemlock for each house, instead of 1250.

You have a record of the amount of lumber I have used while Mr. Lacombe has the order sent me with him, so I am not able to say how much it was.

Very respectfully,
