1 Set matrices for complete font of Great Primer
1 " " " " " " Long Primer No 1 with fractions
1 " " " " " " Brevier No 1. with fractions & leaders
1 " " " " " " Minion No 1. with fractions & leaders

Together with the molds, &c. requisite for casting and finishing up type
in the best style.

It will be observed in making out this bill, that we have not defined accurately the name of each part of the machinery necessary to cast, finish, and prepare type for the case, but wish all the apparatus necessary for casting the kinds above named, and for finishing all kinds except the Kettle, furnace, frame-work. and such other articles as it will be obvious we can here better prepare and fit to the machinery upon its arrival, and shall expect a clear description of such articles as it may be thought we can make here.

All the machinery must be so arranged that there will be no difficulty in putting it up, and so packed that nothing shall be broken or lost, and be of the best finished and most approved kinds now in use.

1 portable, compact, lead-mould, with cutter attached, if that kind can be as conveniently procured, if not the cutter may be seperate

1 Printers small Vice, the kind that can be fastened to a composing stone
50 lbs Antimony metal, the kind, proper for mixing with old type, when
it is to be re-cast.

If you can find the brass rule machine owned by the Church, and stored somewhere in St Louis, I wish you to forward it this season Elder John Taylor may be able to inform you concerning the whereabouts of said machine
