Durham Hall October 8th 1811

Dr Sir

I have finally concluded to let you have the mill for 13,000— Your offer was twelve and I will split the difference— I hope we shall be able to bargain as I am desireous to Sell— hope shall soon have the pleasure of seeing you at the Mines a little company would be very acceptable at this time for I never saw this place half so dismal as it appears now— The waggons will hawl out a load of plank for Evins and return immediately to hawl for you as long as you wish—

If you have any Salt come out from the village yet please send out some.

Stephen F. Austin
