Mr. Wm. H. Mersereau
Dear Sir
In reply to yours of the / 23d will say that I did not put any blame / on you in regard to the shingle Stain or / any other matter. As you told me you had / sent the samples of stain to Mr Irving to select / the colors from about 30 days ago when / I spoke to you about them Mrs Irving wrote to me asking why the work on the Stable [part] / was not being finished up first. And I replied / that it was on act of not having the shingle / stain. That I had aksed you for the colors 30 / days ago. This is the sum of what I wrote / I hope there is no ill feeling about the matter / I always try to be agreeable to all and avoid / any trouble arising
