Letter from John Milton Bernhisel, 17 March 1856
Washington City
Wilford Woodruff Esq.
Dear Sir,
Your favor of
the 29th of December was received yesterday
I will pay Messrs Sanborn & Carter $105
and have just written them a letter
requesting them to forward a receipt
in full for that amount to their repre-
sentative in Congress, and I would
liquidate their claim.
I know nothing about the taxes you
mention. Before I left I paid brother
Gibbs a pretty heavy bill for road
tax, and one to Colonel J. C. Little
which I understand that it was for
city tax, and I knew or heard of no
other.
Be kind enough to keep me advised
as well as you can how the mill gets
on. Brother [Heautz] was to sell my interest
in the park, what my family did not
want, and pay to proceeds of it to you.
