Soho. July 1st, 1800.
Sir,
When I mentioned the copper, I did it only with a view of shewing you the price of the present quarter and that your stock was increasing so much. In consequence of your command, I have waited on Mr. Gibbins to get an explanation. Had I known you were unacquainted with the circumstance I should have told you all I knew, which then was that Mr. Gibbins had taken payment of Mr. Walker for 28T. 10C. 0q. 0lb. of copper that was on its passage from Swansea, at 143 net per ton, the money price of the now running quarter-the dates, &c., as per account annexed.
Since having seen Mr. Gibbins I have obtained the shares that constitute the 28T. 10C. 0q. 0lb., which are as follows:
J. Gibbins 50 shares 7. 10
Anne Gibbins 10 1. 10
Thomas Gibbins 30 4. 10
B. Morris's Exor. 7 1. 1
Thomas Bigg 23 3. 9
M. Boulton 30 4. 10
Ann Boulton 20 3
M. R. Boulton 20 3
28. 10
The above 28T. 10C. 0. 0 arrived at Gatcomb, 25 June, and was paid for at Mr. Gibbins' request by Mr. Walker, as follows:
1800
March 1 A bill at 7 mos. £1000
April 21 Ditto 5 mos.* 1700 *This was drawn 10 days too soon to
May 1 Ditto 5 mos. 520 correct a former mistake.
-- Ditto 5 mos. 850
July 1 Mo. 5. 10
Due the 4th October £4075. 10
Mr. Gibbins has taken up from Mr. Walker on account of copper that is to be delivered in September quarter:
A bill dated May 1 @ 8 mos. £1000
Ditto June 30 @ 4 mos. 1430. 10
Ditto July 2 @ 8 mos. 1430. 10
£3861
-a capital way of raising nearly £4000.
Some water was thrown up last night, and more shall be to-night. I have told the gardner about the lawn: he has begun to mow the 4 acres of meadow at Money Bag Hill, and the whole from the Park, as I said before, will be carried to morrow.
I am, sir, your very obliged humble servant,
Wm. D. Brown
Herewith the 100 pieces of coin, 46 to the lb. Mr. Busch will not come till sent for.
