Description:
The following item depicts a letter from Andrew T. McClintock to William Swetland, dated December 22, 1862. In the letter, McClintock is requesting the purchase of black walnut lumber to use in his home. He has enclosed a previous bill for this service, but now requests an additional 2 inch planks that are 12 feet long. The entire account requests about 1000 feet in boards altogether. McClintock concludes his letter by requesting the boards as soon as possible, as he would like to have them finished before the winter comes.

Wilkes Barre 22 Dec[ember]. 1863.
My dear sir;
I expect to make some improvements
in my house next spring + I will want
some good Black Walnut lumber -
Mr. Fell informs me that you have
some good Walnut logs + have offered
to supply that article-
Enclosed I send you the Bill of
what I want - you will please add
thereto 2 inch Plank sufficient to make
say 1000 feet in all - the additional
plank to be 12 feet long -If the Bill
makes 1000 feet you need not add
to it but without calculating it I think
it falls short of that -
I w[oul]d like this lumber delivered as
soon as you can have it cut as I wish
it will seasoned before it is used + will
require it as early in the summer as I
can get the work done -I’ll pay you
charges as soon as the lumber is delivered.
You will oblige me very much if you
can supply this order - Yours very truly
W[illia]m Swetland Esq[uire]. And[re]w. T. McClintock
