| Description | (Directed to Mrs. Matthews', Green Lettice Lane.)
I wrote to my dear Friend yesterday.
From the annexed sketch may be infered the expedience of making a canal in a track a few miles about, to avoid lockage and thereby afford not only more dispatch but otherwise more publick accommodation; and it also shews in a strong point of view the great propriety of the subject being now strictly attended to by Government.
I have wrote to my correspondent at Gainsbro', and have desired from our Navigation Office an account of the tonage of merchandise that passed last year upon the Fazeley Canal, as may be supposed, to and from Gainsbro'. I have shewn my friend at Gainsbro' I mean to include what passes to and from Gainsbro' between Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley, and the neighbourhood of those towns.
Miss Boulton was here yesterday, quite well.
Adieu.
I am afraid of being too late for the post.
