After Several 
days waiting in vain our account of the hot weather to get our Committees together. I beg to express to you our sincere thanks for your letter of the 4th visit. stating that you will hold the "Bakery" for *rounsoely till we send an agent to the field- 
I hope we shall be able to secure some of the "Bannock" as we shall need the lumber to fit up our buildings for sehook.
I shall probably write you further of our anomalies at an early day-
Very Respectfully, 
J.H. Chapin
