Dear Fuller:
Enclosed please find the original draft of recipe for infants’ food.
Yes, it was $5,000 that I inserted in the Bowers
experiments, & I’m pretty glad to hear it has been drawing
100 per cent interest—or promises to do that
happy thing. Yes, lump it at $5,000 & give me
$10,000 
worth of stock, & let us hope for luck in the
forthcoming whisky. Both you & I tried to get the old fool to make
the still, in the first place, & leave the steam engine for a later
effort, but he wouldn’t.
Ain’t you afraid John Munro will get after you for using his Baby-food?
Yrs ever
Mark.
