L'Hommedieu [3], 30 Aug 1872 [Box 1, Folder 5]I gave Clapon an order on Stearns for $200, Aug 31, '72 in favor of Wm. Porter - for amount Paid Deshler, Ohio, Aug 30 - 72 Dear Sir, yours of Recent date came duly to hand and in answer would say that I have stoped the cutting of whoop timber at present and will send acct of what is cut soon. I dont think there has been any timber wasted, but I am of your opinion, that is best to confine the cutting of whoop to land near station. Our B & O R.R. seems to progress slowly, have not heard much for some time concerning it. I have not drawn any money from my Toledo contract as yet, but will send order to you on R.R. Co. at Lima for the next month, soon as may be necessary for you to draw. Have not heard whether you drew any from last month please to send me a recpt. I have considerable riding to do on R.R. and if you can do it just as well as not I wish you would procure me a free pass over this end of the R.R. from Dayton to Toledo. I am alone, and expect to remain here, for two or three years, if every thing goes satisfactory. and I expect to start a small store here, and can attend to the freight office here just as well as not. Let me hear from you Stephen S. L'Hommedieu, Cincinnati, OH, to Silas D. Stearns [10] [Box 1, Folder 12]Cinti, Nov 20, '72 Dear Sir, I was made informed to learn from two sources, that you were taking timber from the 20 acres received are each 80 acres, in open violation of your contract with we as Agent for the owners of land in Henry County, O. at and near Deshler Station. This is the second time there has been occasion to complain; and if you do not at once desist, proceedings will be taken to cancel the contract. Respect'y Yours |
