Dear Col. I have about five thousand cords of pine wood to cut about seventeen miles from the City in Montgomery County Md; and want to secure the services of forty or fifty good cutters. Can you put me in the way of getting them? The wood is of very superior quality and industrious men can make large wages at it. The bearer Mr Kilgour will give you all the particulars in regard to it, and will have the superintendence of the hands. Very truly Your friend Fitzhugh Coyle 19 Aug 1867 Col Ballock
