Letter of B.H. Randolph, St. Louis, to Coffin & Weld. Please take out insurance for flour shipped from Quincy, Illinois, to New Orleans. I bought whatever flour was there and will advise you later of the exact number of barrels. The river is now very high indeed and the insurance will probably be only 1% to New Orleans. Bought up 10,000 more gunny sacks at 10 cents and have about all that are on the market. Individuals mentioned: Mr. Weld., 1849 Mar 10
