we would and must come out ahead and still think think we shall.

A part of the Capitol building blew down day before yesterday but is being re—paired. Loss to City— about $1500#.

If You sell the enclosed Columbus share I will send a deed of the 10 lots when notified. Will send a deed of the pre—empted land if you think it necessary or you can keep this letter as a voucher that you own half of it. If you do not sell the Columbus send it back as I may get a chance to sell out here. Remember me to the boys.

P.S. I will not send "Columbus" until next week as I wish to get the Sect'y signatures to the transfer. Don't sell less than $325#. You can bargain for it if you can get a chance and I think you can.
