About this book
Letters and Literary Memorials of Samuel J. Tilden, v. 2 includes a letter from David A. Wells asking for an early pamphlet copy of the governor’s message for careful reading and preservation. A letter describes an imaginary island in a novel where people used currency that had no value as a commodity, and asks the governor to notice how prices worked there. The discussion of contracts says that large deposits discouraged bidders with small means and that encouragement of unbalanced bidding tended to exclude those offering fair prices and intending fair work.
The discussion of contract law describes a required preliminary survey with maps, specifications, and estimates, intended to establish the amount and probable cost of work. The financial account itemizes greenhouse work, cottages, plumbing, furniture, and plants, alongside purchases and improvements of property.
