nor is there any lumber left that would be of service. I find upon close calculation that it will yet require an expenditure of at least $450.00 currency, to complete the building - that is for shingles, Sheathing, floor, privy, door, and ten window shutters; nails, hinges &C and labor. - all rough work except the door and Shutters; not including window sash, a desk &c which can be dispersed with at present. You will perceive that it will be a costly building for one of such a description: Price of lot $300.00 Currency Price of lumber 245.00 Labor on building 98.00 due yet $60.20 Total $693.00 Amount required to finish 400.00 Total $1143.00 At least two thirds of the labor required to complete the building is to be done yet. There is a reliable carpenter here who will contract to finish if - furnishing the necessary material; or he will do the work for about $125.00 if the material is furnished. When finished the house will be a good one and ample enough for all purposes. Very respectfully Your obedient servant P. F. Duggan Sub Asst. Com.
