Gents: I stand ready to furnish the lumber required for the use of the City of Seattle for the year 1885&6 at eight dollars ($8.00) per thousand feet at my mill. According to the bid connected with my name in the published proceedings of the last meeting of the Council -Sept 8- and to give sufficient guaranty that the hauling of the same shall cost no more that from any other mill. Respectfully D E Blaine

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
