determination in the matter as expressed in Your
former letter & the unexplained statement in the
last create surprise in regard to your change of mind.

This market is no doubt the most uncertain
& unsystemized in the world. I was shipper
of merchandise to this country must "go it blind"
& therefore runs much risk. But I Know of
no article consumed inthis country, in which there
is less risk in shipping here, that good Butter,
that is, so far as the sale of it here, is concerned.

The risk in the transportation of it, in good order
is probably as great if not greater than any other
article. This opinion, however, is not designed
to influence any change of your settled convictions
in the matter.

I am pleased to learn that Dermont has at
last published his Hand Co. Map & hope he will
be prudent enough to secure a handsome Compensation
for his time, expense & trouble in bringing it out in a
useful form. If he will send me a copy of
if by mail I will be much obliged & will return
the favoe, with something Salifornian

I wrote to you by the steamer of the 1st
inst. Mr. B. is in bed & asleep & I cannot say
whether he writes to Mary by this Steamer or not

I have not seen or heard directly from Henry
Edsell, Neuson or [Cos] since I last wrote. Will send
one or two steamer papers per Steamer tomorrow.

Give my love to all
Affectionately Ur Son
Nathe. Jones. Jal. B. Jones.
