  the contents, which shall be attended
  to, and as soon as an oppertunity
  offers either by waggon or water, I
  will send to you some of the flint, 
  you request; we have also in
  this neighbourhood a white flint
  which is used as the workmen
  from England inform me, in glazing

  ware.   can you get the
  Flint from New Philadelphia

                                I am
