                                                                                                                                                     "         c/o 60 days        4.60 
                                                                                                                                                                c/o 6 mos           4.85

I think now I to offer 4.85 6 mos he would accept it. The Spike am of an ? exactly made of the ? of Iron. I am of opinion that 5 in under the head and made of 9/16 and the kind we ought to use 1/2 in and rather I made although man roads have them. The ? up they can be sent from this City to them or ? crossings for 37 or 28 cents for ? to what the Transportation from Pittsburgh to this City would be about 10 cts. I am quite sure he would deliver them here at 4.85 6 mos & possibly $4.75. I think the spoke could be ? in Albany or Troy for a shade under ? 4 1/2 6 mos They are not so good by the difference I think If Mr. W wishes me to close the contract must write immediately Respectfully W.
