 Franktord, Pennsylvania, July 7, lB65
Mr. Harvey Quicksall
I Dear Sir
In one ot your letters to J. Quicksall without date you write
"I have just benn ottered by one Sutclitte, a boundary ot 55UU acres
situated about thirty miles up the Tug Fork ot Sandy, coming out to
the river and about two miles above the Burning Springs. This land
is held in option until the lst ot March, when %3UUU. must be paid
which extends the time three months longer, then the balance ot
money to be paid. This tract can be purchased tor six dollars per
acre and a good title given."
I am instructed to get turther intormation trom you in reterence
to this property and also another mentioned in the same letter.
You say - "this land is held in option till the lst ot March when
$3UOU. must be paid". Do you hold this option? It so, does it
mean that you have until the lst ot March next to decide whether or
not you will take the 55OO acres at six dollars per acre? It you
decide on the lst ot March next not to take the property, what do you
torteit? It this land should prove valueless as oil territory what
would it sell tor as tarming land? What are your ideas in reterence
to the disposal ot this property; that is, how ought it to be disposed
ot, and at what price? Please answer these questions and give any
turther intormation you may possess relative to this property.
In regard to the other tract mentioned in the same letter you
write — " The tract I have just leased I have an option bond upon
tor the space ot three months so that the Board may go into the
business." You turther write — "This boundary is situated about
eighteen miles above Louisa on the Louisa tork ot Big Sandy and tour
miles above Peach Orchard, running about l 3/4 miles along the river."
You do not give the dimensions ottthis tract nor the price,nor
the terms. Please give all the particulars. Please say what it is
worth as tarming land. I acknowledge the receipt ot your two
letters, one died June ld, including a copy ot the See lease, and
the other dated June ZG, acknowledging the receipt ot my letter intorming
you ot the shipment ot the engine.
Yours
D.S. Hallowell, Sec.

Deer Brother
I requested you to send me $1U in one of my letters, but I do not
think that will be sufficient. Please transmit $2U. James Sutcliffe
arrived here last Wednesday. He had been down at the other well
about a week. Mr. Quicksall arrived day before yesterday with the
‘ engine and fixtures. The other well is near 5UO ft. deep. We are
all pretty well. I would like to scribble more but have no time.
Remember me to Rebecca Sever if that is an expression of sense, I
mean give my compliments. Tell her I would not be displeased with
a letter from her. If I had time I would tell her myself through
e letter direct.
Your Brother
J.T.H.

 Frankford, Pennsylvania, July 18, l865
· Mr. Thos. Hargraves
I have received your statement of your money transactions
for the Tacony Dil , M & M Co., dated April 28, 1865, You make
the amount of bills rendered $l343.69. I make tha amount
$1333.66. This makes a difference of $18.83. In your statement
you have bills not rendered $d63.U6. What do you mean by this?
Do you mean that you have spent this amount of money for articles
for which you received no bills; or do you mean that you have
this amount of cash in your hands? Please answer and oblige.
Yours
Daniel 5. Hallowell

 Louisa, Lawrence County, Kentucky, July 2B, 1865
Mr. D.5. Hallowell, Sec.
Dear 5jr
I have received 2 letters of yours, one dated June Yth asking
for information relating to two tracts of land I wrote you
about & which I will answer soon as I get the inofrmation I
am seeking for. The other dated June 20th, stating the result
of a meeting held by the Board authorizing me to pay the
expense of washing and ironing the clothes of the men out here;
Also a statement of the 5DU shares of stock taken this day
by John M.‘5eefor which I am obliged. I have explained to Mr.
See the conditions on the back of the receipt which I have
received and filled out properly with the name of John M. See.
I have received both a blank receipt which I presented to John
M. 5ee with an explanation and also filled up except the name
of John M. 5ee signed by the treasurer. I would just say that on
the morning of 2lst inst. we had the misfortune to break off
a reamer & the larger part remained in the well until the afternoon
of the 26th at 4 o'clock when by the aid of the spear & valve socket
it was withdrawn with tremendous cheers so loud that the old lady
Mrs. 5ee came down to see what was the cause of all this rejoicing!
We are going on as usual — Down about 525 feet with our men sure
of either oil or gas though there is a slight smell of oil &
a slight appearance of gas not of much yet. I hope before we
get to IUUU feet something good may come. The 2nd well has not
yet started; would have been but for the want of walking beam
irons which is expected daily.
Very respectfully yours
Harvey Quicksall
