Excerpt from Letters From My Mill: To Which Are Added Letters to an Absent OneTo the Sieur Alphonse Daudet, poet, residing in Paris, here present and accepting, A windmill for flour, situated in the valley of the Rhone, and in the heart of Provence, on a hillside, wooded with pine and live-oak; the said mill being abandoned for twenty years or more. And therefore unfit for grinding, as appears from the wild vines, mosses, rosemarys, and other parasitical growths which have climbed its sails; Notwithstanding which, such as it is and appears with its great wheel broken and its platform where the grass is growing between the bricks, the Sieur Daudet declares that finding the said mill to his liking and serviceable to his works of poesy, heaccepts the same at his risks and perils, and with out any claim whatsoever against the vendor for repairs which may have to be made.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
