City of Seattle Records

Seattle Sept 14, 1884 Mr Furth Dear Sir Yours of the 12th [?] at hand and contents noted. I failed to state in my bid where the lumber would be delivered. That arose from a complication of matters which are not done yet. I will state - however for the benefit of the committee of which I judge that you are the Chairman that I will deliver the lumber not further distant than the Western Mill Lake Union. I shall not urge my bid upon your honorable committee as perfect liberty- W disregard it- Yours etc. E F Blaine

W R Forrest City Clerk Sir- I will furnish the City of Seattle for the year ending September 1st 1886 with good merchantable rough Fir and Cedar lumber for city purposes at the rate of Eight Dollars for thousand feet board measure. E F Blaine Dated Seattle Wash. Ter. September 4th 1885
