Copy of a Letter from Mr Edward Hazel to Henry Bird
Fredericksburgh 25th October 1784
Dear Sir
I yesterday received a letter from Mr McCormack wherein he mentions that I have sold 2 plane irons belonging to you which is a great mistake as I have them now in my care at this place. The Maple Board which you requested Mr McComb to send you is now at Detroit, had it been here I would have taken this opportunity to send it to you. Should you be inclined to dispose of your lower house and fifty or one hundred acres around it on reasonable terms I will buy it, and should be glad to know your proposals by the first opportunity. Mrs Hazel, myself and family are (with respect to you and Mrs Bird) all well & I am,
Sir,
Your humble servant
(Signed)
Edward Hazel
