Sir
In this matter of the two months between yourself and Mr Grant & Daniel Lee I see no
reason to change the view I took at first. The 5 Bushels Wheat was
evidently sold by Grant to Lee & charged
[page 2]
as cash in the settlement between
them. Lee was working continuously under your orders. If you are responsible for the 2 months
at all you and for the whole and cannot seek to make the $10 for Wheat a payment on your
account. I think on full review you will arrive at the same conclusion.
Your obedient servant
Thos P Jackson
