Letter of B.H. Randolph, St. Louis, to Coffin & Weld. Regarding draft for purchase of gunny sacks by Mr. Weld. By his advice I hope to purchase a few more the same way. Our mills are beginning to fill up with wheat now and soon we shall have more flour to forward. Will soon ship 300 to 500 barrels of flour depending on depth of water in channel which may not allow any more loading at present. Places mentioned: New Orleans.
