United States--History--Revolution, 1775-1783; Jay, John, 1745-1829
Summary
Family news. Lumber is cheaper than last year but the price of building is
not likely to be less. Discusses roofing materials; would like to try zinc if the
difference in cost from slate is not too great. Advises that John [William's son?] be
kept at Bedford until the varioloid is less prevalent in the city.
