LevelItem
Date15 January 1780
Description(Directed to Thomas Wilson’s, Chacewater, near Truro, via Bristol.)
[The net amount of goods sold in 1779 is about £7,400, and the profit after allowing B. & F. 10% on £740, is £660. Our dead stock last year was £3,300 and this year it is £2700. The plated and ormoulu Inventory is not yet finished. I am afraid the Painting and Refining trade will turn out very indifferent.]
