Fort Fairfield July 22 1839

Hon Rufus MacIntyre

Land agent of Maine

Sir

Since you left we have[?] nothing from Mr [?] who agreed to have his bond executed and to pay four or five hundred dollars in a few days in which we have been disappointed

The amount of money for contracts this month completed will be for road from hence to Letter F 1700 through Letter F 1000 and about 300 for [?] Frenchmen as may be discharged[?]

Col Jarvis has concluded that it is best to go through Deerfield Letter E and the other towns on the line of road at a less[?] expense of labor merely making a present passage road without regard to future improvement at the cost of the State

Col Dunnery[?] also wishes me to say that if the timber[?] is to be sold at Fish river if you will have it [?] and sent him notice he will sell it but thinks [?] things had better remain as they are until he has visited[?] that[?] place for which he starts[?] this morning For details[?] I[?] beg leave to refer to Mr[?] Tole[?] who goes[?] out for a few days

Your Obt Svt

Wm P. Parrott
