| Description | [Although Mr. Lee and Mr. Kennedy employ many good workmen in their business yet all they do is piece work, and they get 31/6 to 2 guineas per week. Mr. Lee thinks the best place for such men as would answer for your work (toolmakers) is Prescot, but none would work for less than 28 or 30s., for wages are much advanced. By the papers of this day, I see there is a new Copper Coinage ordered for Ireland.] |
