My dear Sir,

While in East Hampton about the twenty seventh of August I stopped in your mill, and you showed ma a lot of hickory sticks about 14 inches long that you said had been used in the graning of the mill for about seventy five years, and had only been taken out some five years ago.

I want to ask you if I may have four of those

old pieces of hickory. I would be glad to pay for them if they are of any value to you, or if sending them will cause you any trouble. I would only be too glad to return it in same way.

I suppose this is a rather peculiar request, and I know it is asking a great deal from you, whom I only met once, but I am very anxious to get four of those worn out sticks, both as as a souvenir of the Mill and for use as a frame of a photograph of the Mill.

If you do not care to part with them, or if you

have not the time to spend in packing them to send by Express, please let me hear from you, and very much oblige

Very truly yours Stephen M. Miller

To Mr. Dominick Care of The "Old Mill". East Hampton L.I. NY.
