Letter to John McKay complaining that his flour mill is not screening the writer’s wheat as had been agreed upon. March 7, 1812.
Transcription:
Geneseo 7 March 1812
Mr. John McKay,
Sir
We cannot learn that your screen is made use of yet, and that you are grinding our wheat up without screening it. If that is the case, Sir it is contrary from what we expected and had a right to expect from your conversation at different times.
We think the wheat without screening will not make flour that will pass inspection - However - as you warrant the inspection I do not conceive we need trouble ourselves about its fineness.
We are Very Respectfully Yours
[Spencir?] [H?]
