Return for Logs

Description

Tingley writes Pickering to inform him that the oak and pine logs issued to the constructor have been sawed into planks and are ready for seasoning. Tingley also notes that he was not aware that the hogsheads of rum were under his jurisdiction, and will rectify this mistake along with any other omissions that may have resulted unintentionally.
