Dear Brother I spoke to Mr Greenley when we went along to inquire about probable the sale of shirts at ironworks and he discouraged one either because there is not a good chance to dispose of or move probably list. I should wish to trouble him with them he said should think it could not sell there for he had noticed they have many in the stores there and I could not afford to make as cheap as they got their slopwork - so I asked him to take a pr to you had not time to set a price but Charles was going tomorrow or next day so I wanted to write by here instead of by mail but he has now concluded to go next week or week after so I send forthwith the shirts contain 8 yds of cloth for which I give 4 quarter lbs of wool and 144cts for manufacturing I want to get 50 cts for making but could make for a little less better than do nothing. I have made some of better cloth yd wide of which Cushing says they allow 6 half yds for a pr but by cutting out several together can get them out of a little over 6 yds, cost 5bls wool and 1,50 for manufacturing and buttons, thread, making and all ought to receive 3,50 or to get Cushings price for clock 4,00 apr he sells his cloth so as to get from, 30 to, 33 for his wool he gives 25cts cash for wool. The Ferris's say that at (unclear) I could probably get 4,00 for good shirts but could not sell poor ones. If you cannot get more than 2,50 or 3,00 for shirts I must quit getting my wool manufactured but if I could sell advantageously it would be well for me to turn my labor to more profit than my wool alone, and Cushing will take eggs, lamb, pork, anything I can spare for manufacturing can I sell good thick shirts for good price better than thin ones for poor price at your store please give me information. I send you 15$ with. I wish you to get one flour, molasses, &c as much to my advantage as possible perhaps, C will go down sometime and can bring up if not, want you should send up by somebody I want to get a small shovel for James to clean barn and if you can find a stone churn I wish you would buy it for me should prefer one with stone cover but at any rate want a churn, have sent by Charles all summer. When I fail here I am going to take a house in Bangor and board all my brethren, Ann and Lucy are each going to do the same. had not you and Eliah better marry so you can do so too.
