My dear Willy
I have yours of
the 14th and 17th last. I have not
had anything from Roly since the
letter you read. I don't know the
meaning of "led [lead?] oxide in chemical
Combination". I hope the next letter
will not pass through the "office" without
your reading it. If the new funded
5% will give the principal back
its maturity and 4«% Interest I should
say it would be well to invest [May's?] money
in it. If land turn up afterwards
you can sell out. I think [Alexander?]
has no other meaning in his letters
to you than calling your attention
to such & such land on sale with the
hope of you making a satisfactory
purchase.
As to New York city Bonds on stock
I think them first rate, I beleive
the Central Park would sell for more
than pay the whole debt big as it
is, at sametime it is [disgusting?] to
[Bond Holding?] to see such wilful [waste?]
in the management of the city, and
so far there is no appearance of a
sessation [cessation?] in the recklessness.
the weather is again very [severe?] cold
N East winds with bits of snow flying
about I don't like- Glad to hear that
Jane is so well- Yours faithfully
Rowland Redmond
