Dr. Sir

Yours of Jan. 14th recd. long since. The"perquisites" are yours by permission & hereditary descent. I am sorry the"remnants" are not all gone. Cant you wholesale them at a small discount for cotton?

A word now about the hauling of Cotton, Whereas the President gets 13 lbs of Cotton in Dixie or 12 lb here, in exchange for 5 lbs Cot.yarn; he is willing to pay the value of 1 lb cotton at this place to whoever hauls up 13 lbs <lbs> of his cotton from Dixie to this place, but he must take his pay not in the cotton itself, but in yarn at the rate of 5 lbs yarn for every 12 lbs cotton due to the hauler: consequently there would be 1 lb yarn due for every 31 1/5 lbs cotton hauled up, or 1 bunch for every 156 lbs hauled. He is no paying cash or mdze. for <cotton or> freighting

Respectfully Yours &c
