- Scope and content:

Anderson writes that he can procure good overseer with experience in "the management of Negroes" if Washington's current overseer is leaving--Anderson will shortly take measurements of John Francis Mercer's "thrashing machine", so that he can cut timber in winter for mounting one for Washington--suggests cost could be lowered by using Washington's own carpenters and a millwright.
