Although I had some days since, a brief verbal communication with you on the subject of your letter of the 10 th inst:—yet, as the noise of the Mill may have occasion’d an imperfect understanding of it, I deem it proper to offer my sentiments more fully, especially as there are some passages in your letter which I consider incorrect—with respect to repairs done to the Mill during the last...
