_Gents_:--Yours of 7th inst. is received, and will say in answer, that
our mill came through all right and complete, excepting the hopper
frame, which we mended without any expense, consequently did not report
it. After thoroughly trying the mill, have to say that it fully comes up
to the warrant, and beats it, as we can grind from 25 to 30 bushels per
hour of good merchantable meal, with our Gaar, Scott & Co.’s fifteen
horse engine and 80 lbs. of steam, and if we were to buy another mill it
would be of the same brand.
Respectfully, yours,
MORGAN & LATTA.

_Gents_:--
The grist mills we purchased of you that we are using, are all right.
Our miller has followed mill-wrighting and milling for 30 years with us,
and he says that a better mill never run than the “Richmond Mill and
Bolt,” as they are now improved.

_Gents_:--At your request I will write you what I am doing with the mill
you made. My engine is a 10×18 inch cylinder, boiler 42 inches diameter
and 20 feet long, with two large flues, and the stones, if you
recollect, are one of your heavy husk, 3 feet upper-runner mills for
wheat, and one of your 30 inch under-runner for corn and feed, and with
one and a half cords of wood every ten hours we can grind the week
through 10 bushels per hour on the wheat stone, and 20 bushels per hour
of corn on the corn stone. It has now been over four years since this
mill was started, but it does better work now than then, because of its
better management. I have new customers almost every week from near
other mills. It is no mistake, I make better flour--and my millers have
discovered it--than any of the larger mills through this country. I
need another run of wheat stones and bolts, as with them I could manage
the whole with my engineer and miller, and do about double the wheat
grinding with but little additional expense. Out of the wheat of the
year before last I made 40 pounds of flour from weighed wheat per
bushel, after tolling one-eighth; from last year’ wheat I could not do
it, it being rather light in this section.
Yours very truly,
RILEY WILSON.
