Thank you fellow member Paul for the piece and a deciphering job that was much better than my own.
Goes something like this...
Messrs. Gilbert & Wells,
We send you today for RR to ? 14 larger sacks which we suppose will hold balance of your stock of scraps.
If we were to pack them we should string up the sack at the 4 corners by cords to the joists on ceiling overhead just allowing the bottom of the sack to touch the floor--then put a man inside the sack to tend them and get in twice as many.
Yours respectfully,
H Harwood & Sons
