Peyton, G. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1880-08-31)
Aug. 30th 1880
Prof H. A. Ward
Rochester N. Y.
My dear sir
Your letter from Louisville
has this moment arrived. I shall
give the work on the Mammoth to
the painter of whom I wrote you, as
being in the end cheaper and better than
to have it done by [Clifton?]. He will begin
right away and if things work well
can finish the job. If not I will [stop?]
him and "await developments" myself.
In regard to the keys. I packed the lock
and both fragments of broken key in the paper
box myself. The small end must have
been lost when the box was opened. I
do not think the other broken key can
be found, so await more developments.Peyton, G. Letter to Ward, Henry A. (1880-08-31)
It [furnishes?] me occasionally with
the opportunity to renew, by letter
my association with you which
compensates for the vexation attending
such trifling difficulties as
now bother you and myself.
Very truly yours
G. Peyton
