[August 19, 1857:] "I made a bargain with Mr. [John T.] Hammitt [of the Hammitt Desk Manufacturing Company] of Philadelphia for one-half of the chairs for the House of Representatives at $75 each, delivered. I have telegraphed to Bembe and Kimbel of New York that they might make the other half at $70 each, not including the packing. This makes 262 chairs and the same number of desks in all for the House of Representatives which are now engaged." Source: Capitol Builder: The Shorthand Journals of Montgomery C. Meigs, 1853-1859 (Congressional Committee Materials, 1861).
