Oil Mills
The great pains you have been at in procuring me all possible information
about oil mills cannot be of immediate utility as that speculation is not
so well adapted to this part of the country where other fodure for cattle is so cheap.
Salt Works
Neither can Saltwork projects be put in practice execution here. Char However
when I am at leisure, or rather when we are together a Knot of us, we
can put together what we know on that subject and after having made
some models and drawn up directions for the use of an improved apparatus
it may be turned to some account.
Nitre.
The ground in this part of the
country is exceedingly nitrous and the exportation of Saltpetre
which was till lately prohibited is now permitted.

Dingley's Saw Mill. Model
If the model is compleat so as to shew
each component part in the Construction
you may give as far as 10 guineas for
such a one. by each component part
being shewn
I do not mean that in
all cases there should be as many pieces
in the model as in the real mill;
but that where one piece serves for
many that the part of mode of
"construction" should be marked and the
"Factering" likewise. From such a
model I could have a real mill
made without the necessity of considering
each part to invent the best mode of

connection &c which is a business which
from my indesicion & thirst
for perfection make me loose that
in spend frivolously a great deal of time.
I don't care any thing about the neatness
but a man who is capable & bestows
pains enough to make a model so
accurate, could not make it otherwise
than neat.
---page break---
All the letters you mention having
sent me I have received.
Let me have one of the Copying
machines with brass rolers, and
a quantity of Paper Ink &c
necessary.
