Mr E. G. Northrup. Richland Cal.

Dear Sir:

Your communication under date 8 [init?] in relation to the finishing of your church and requiring more means for the same was duly received.

Just at this time there are heavy demands on me for money in carrying out our Railroad projects and although willingly disposed to assist you, yet will be unable to grant your request.

Your truly
