My Dear Beck
Yours recd— Now if Forbs[3](n03) wontwon't put up— Nor Bleistein & others— the mill will have to go over another year. I cantcan't build it Alone— The timber might be sawed for it. For the mill will have to be built Sooner or later— And the mill lumber will keep— And we will have it ready— If Bleistein wires me he can raise two or three thousand allright. But it must be a steam and water mill combined what will it cost to add
steam? How much did Jones[4](n04) owe— colony people[5](n05)?
Yours truly
W. F. Cody
