Broth [Brother] J. N. R Sac City [[Sacramento City]] Feb 18 1851 Yesterday my remitance [remittance] was $1337 and to day I send you what I have which is only 46 03 or $736. Yesterdays goods all came Correctly Except – 2 1/4 Box Raisins which I will look after to the boat. The shortage in the 62 bbls [barrels] of oats I think was Enormous & the boys must have missed horably [horribly] to have taken them at such weights. barley moves rather slouly [slowly] at 9 & 9 1/2 but we try & get 10 at retail but take 9 if we can do no better of the 75 sacks sent up on Sunday Charles has sold some and has sent 10 sacks to Mareys Ville [Marysville] and the ballence [balance] the bigest [biggest] part of it. I have on hand yet in the ranch. I think all the barley we have in hand is about 200 sack and we have quite a lot of the nuts on hand we have sacked the 5 hhds [hogshead] and have about 50 of the old lot, and I must say I think the man that sold you the nuts was rather close in his trade as they will not hold out 51 lb Each I have weighed a great many of them and all I can make them weigh is 50 or 50 1/2. 10 Sacks weighed together will weigh 504 or in about that line I think if he does the fair thing he will deduct 100 lb [pounds] on the lot or 1 lb [pound] on Each sack. The hams go rather slow but we will soon go at them as soon as the Casks are out of the way Flour is selling at 6. I have have had to buy some to day [today] if you buy any buy onley [only] good. The butter is being delivered from the harbor to day [today] I have not paid the fraight [freight] yet open it and will let it
