	Title:	Letter, May 26, 1840, Richard K. Call, Tallahassee, to Mrs. Ellen Kirkman, New Orleans, 3 pp., expressing regret at having to postpone his visit: "Two nights since we had the misfortune to have our Steam Mill burnt, and I must make the necessary arrangements to have it rebuilt before I leave home. The mill was doing a splendid business and was the admiration of all who saw it. . . But it was all lost in the course of that night. It was set on fire by one of our own negroes about midnight. . . I have a letter from Ellen a few days since, she was quite well, and expressed a great desire to see her sister. Kiss my dear little Mary for me and tell her I will come soon to see her. . ."
