1500 Pure White Lead the Cincinnati, in kegs of 50. or 100
Iron Hooped, mixed in Oil.
100 Galls Pure Linseed oil, be careful that fish oil is not substituted,
which is sometimes the case. The oil should be packed in Tin Cans about 2 Galls each
25 Galls of Turpentine packed "Do "Do
1 Ranell of Putty unmixed with flour, or other spurious articles, in
bladders.
20 of Lithrag
80 half boxes 8 x 10 Glass, get the German if you can, and see that
it is well packed, and put in wagon right, on the edge.

20 Gallons alcohol

Get the Gin and Rum from Kenneth M. Kenzie on Main Street if he still keeps it, and tell him to let both be genuine if he has got them, if not get them in the next best place, that you know of, for they are intended exclusively for medicinal purposes.

Get the Linseed Oil at some Mill if you can, so as to get the genuine article unadulterated, perhaps Blow & Co. would be the most likely to have it pure, but in this as in other matters, you will have to use your own judgement.
